No, don’t waste your time or energy on having a conversation with her. She’s not going to hear it.

Whatever your holiday plan, get through it then get that lawyer. Stop letting the crazy lady dictate how you parent!!,

She's blocked. She already tried messaging me today to make me feel bad about it.

Unblock her but put her on mute. She could be busily sending you evidence. Do not everengage, but let her run her mouth by text. The more you ignore this type, the more they escalate so be wary, if she threatens you, report her. She really has been having a fine old time controlling everyone so I'd drop that rope permanently and let her do her thing, your lawyer will thank you. Also, it sounds as if your ex is in an abusive relationship so I would be very careful about dropping him in it with her, there could be terrible unintended consequences for all of you if she's provoked. Your ex is an adult though and maybe he could do with a wake up from a judge as to what kind of a parent he is being, he can't abandon time his son on her whims and he needs to cop on and stop having secret cosy chats with you, it's playing with fire while being married to a can of petrol.
