LVM, I'm so glad you shared the update with us about your son. I had a feeling he'd reach out to you. A lot of the yucky stuff he did a couple months ago sounded a lot to me like a hurt kid throwing a tantrum. If he didn't care about you, I don't think he would have put so much energy into making your life miserable. Does that make any sense, lol?
I love it that you're focusing on keeping the relationship just between the two of you for right now. I give that a big "thumbs up". It is so important, IMHO, to develop a strong foundation between birthmom and son before bringing in the rest of the family.
One thing I'd like to suggest is attending a meeting at Al-Anon. Living in Las Vegas, you'll have no problem finding a meeting at any hour, any day, lol. Al-Anon helped me immensely when my son was struggling with drug addiction. It really helped save my sanity.
