Recently found out I am not the biological father of my 2 year old son. She is aware of this and threatens for me never see him again over any minor parenting disputes. Is there anything I can do? Also, first ever reddit post, very new to this.

I live in the UK. Me and his mother haven’t been together since before he was born as we broke up when she was pregnant. We agreed we didn’t want to be with each other but wanted to do right by our son. However long story short, I did a peace of mind DNA test (private - not legally binding) found out he wasn’t mine. However I want to just carry on raising him as i love him as if he were my own son and have been having every weekend since he was born and some days in the week. We have a very loving rather & son relationship and he calls me Daddy. However she is aware that I am not the biological father and the real father is not interested and is staying away. Here is the kicker, she seems to have it in her head that now I have a gf who also has a child, she kicks off all the time even though absolutely nothing with my son has changed, not the relationship with him, time spent with him, nothing. I have no idea why on earth she is so bitter towards me other than catching her out I guess. She has already said that my gf can never meet him as she doesn’t like her (literally never met or spoken to her) if she does she will take me to court have my name taken off the certificate and bye bye. Is there absolute anything I can do to legally protect myself against this major abuse of power? Or to stay in his life do I just have to jump to her tune and do what she says for 18 years? Any help or feedback would be great, thanks.
