Will try my best to word this…

New Year’s Day My ex not married but been together 7 years
Ended it accusing me
Of cheating when I wasn’t!
He’s not got a driving license back yet so I had to drive him and our 4 year old son to his house as we didn’t live together full time after we split in2019 before getting back together .

He was being volatile calling me fat and saying how happy he is to be getting rid of me and he can’t wait to find someone who appreciates him more etc I have my reasons I wasn’t overly affectionate with him he had not long ago deleted msgs from another woman told me he was just moaning about his relationship to me to her but still denied me seeing what was said.
He’s also had a history of drug use and he was caught using last august after promising never again!!
Anyway I take him home he was going to have our son but the argument was so bad and our boy had witnessed it I decided to just drive off home within our son and not let him stay I wanted him home with me and back into Nursary on his routine as it’s me that does everything!
I then decided that the following weekend 8-9 jan would then be his first weekend seeing as I had just had him the previous weekend.
He then emailed me to ask about meeting him half way from his dads I agreed and found a place that was in the middle .
I then asked him if he was ok to be at his house Sunday for me to pick up late afternoon as that’s how we had done it in the past he then said forget it to much hassle!
So he then missed his first weekend he then thought the weekend after 15-16 jan could be his weekend I said no as that’s still my weekend and I had booked the day off work as holiday to take out son to a party he’s been invited to!
And now last weekend 22-23 i offered to drop our son off Sunday on my way to work as he’s not driving still he said no he’s got plans!!!! He’s not seen him for three weeks!
Now he’s demanding this weekend 29-30jan is his weekend ive said no u have cancelled two of ur alternate weekends now and my son has another invite to a party this Sunday my mums taking him as I don’t have any holiday Left now .
He’s threatening me with court and solicitors and that he will get full time care of our son! He’s in debt and has criminal record for drink driving he’s also been taken away by police for being drunk when our son was a month old
Would u say I’m in the wrong for not just swapping weekends?!
He’s trying to control it and change it I also know he’s met someone else after only a month of leaving and already head over heels telling her how per she is etc etc I do wonder if he’s trying to mess the weekends up to suit his needs around this new woman.

Ask him once and for all which weekend he would like and say it is sticking to alternate weekends from that weekend onwards unless you have both agreed to swap with a weeks notice.

Stick to your guns! You have it recorded in message that you offered him weekends which he has turned down. The court won’t award him full custody they will give him EOW (and maybe an evening in the week) but they won’t enforce you swapping Willy nilly..

Thankyou I’m not backing down he’s thinking about the weekends he wants to fit around himself he’s not considering the party invites out little boy has been invited to and his well being
