My son is 6 months old, and dealing with his mother has been a literal nightmare for over a year. Both me and the child's mother are blind. However, she also has borderline personality disorder, episodic mood disorder, bipolar, and post-traumatic stress disorder. She is also not on any medications for this. As you can imagine, her behavior has been incendiary and erratic throughout the entirety of this. She has dragged my name through the mud on Facebook and other social media platforms, called the police on me on multiple occasions and falsified reports, has sent me incendiary verbally and emotionally abusive text messages both through text and our family wizard, until I blocked her on text messages, and she has not spent one dime on our son since he has been born. I have been the one who has been financially supporting him. We are now in a CPS case, because of false allegations that she posted to Facebook. When she has time with our son, she feeds him breast milk, but the quality of foods that she eats are not healthy, and he routinely has gas that I have to do with. However, when he is on formula, he does not have any gas problems. She refuses to change her diet, get on any medications, manage her budget and finances, and refuses to spend any kind of money on our son. Yet, she had no problem opening an Amazon credit card with a $2,000 credit limit and buying herself an iPad. She has tried making medical appointments for our son without coordinating them with me, which is required by court order. Because I have access to our son's records through my chart, every time she attempts this, I am fully aware of it. I am in the state of Colorado. What do I do to deal with this little nightmare of a person? How do I keep my sanity, especially when I am awakened by my subconscious every night because of the torment and anguish that she is putting our son and myself through? Also, we communicated online and through text messages for 5 years before we started a relationship. How did I totally miss all of these red flags, and how do I avoid dealing with someone like this in the future? Thank you. Her apartment is also such a trip hazard that she has routinely tripped and knocked our son into things, and the floor is tile, which means that if his head hits the floor, his skull could crack open. She has also been reckless when walking with him in the stroller, and the stroller has tipped multiple times when she has had him. My son's mother is 37, does not know how to cook, clean, or take care of herself, and has caregivers and other support professionals in the home to do those things for her. I, on the other hand, am a 36-year-old man who doesn't need any of that. I can cook, clean, and take care of myself just fine.
