First of all if she is very controlling thats not going to change and if she jumped up and changed all of a sudden its something she's doing and it's nothing good. and if you want to see your son ans she only will let you on her time theh take further actions. because its only going to hurt the child in the long run. So whatever or whoever it may be let her deal with it and you let go and live life as well. Wish you the best of luck with the situation.

Okay, well let me be honest here and I don't mean to take sides and put you down as I could be completely wrong, but she could have a very good reason for it.

You say that you two have been on-and-off for years, you have a child together, and her family hates you. Perhaps you two have a toxic relationship in the first place and sometimes you're not exactly someone she trusts being around your own child without her supervision. Even if you are the father, a mother will watch her child like a hawk around someone she isn't 100% sure about. I'm just saying I've been close to a situation like that, and it's not because I'm a controlling person, but the ex wasn't someone I trusted to be caring for a child without me there.

I really think you just need to talk to her. Communication is a big part of why there are misunderstandings and you may be thinking she's one way and she's thinking you're one way when both aren't the case. Her reasons for the way she's acting may just be a misunderstanding on your part. Are you sure that you two are still in a relationship? It seems like she's kind of decided it's no longer a relationship, at least the way that I'm reading it.
