Is there any way humanly possible to have a face-to-face meeting just between the two of you? Could you speak to her woman-to-woman, or even mother-to-mother?

Maybe one way would be to tell her in person how this is all affecting your son. If she could be made to see things in terms of the effects on him, her feelings wouldn't be so hurt. If you could just describe to her how he's been feeling confused and having meltdowns, maybe she would be more understanding of additional boundaries being set.

Whatever you decide, I wish you luck. I know you're doing this out of love for your son. And I know it hurts you. Hang in there, and have a safe trip.
