For context, the original post is here.

My son broke up with his Mom last night. This has been a long time coming and it was absolutely NOT encouraged or manipulated by me. Me and his mom have been divorced for 13 years. His decision was based on his own perceptions and observations of his mother's behavior and treatment of the men in her life. Where it gets sticky is that he told her that he didn't want her in his life anymore because she isn't good for his mental health, and because of this he doesn't want her as a mother he wants my current fiancé and his future step-mother to be his mom now. My son is 14, for further context.

Now, the thing is, I had NO idea he was going to say that. I knew that he wanted to take a break from his relationship with his Mother and that he didn't like the way she treated men and that he felt like it was affecting his relationship with me. But I had no idea he was going to drop that bomb. My ex is historically very dramatic and I'm expecting fallout. In fact, after this all went down I got some very angry texts to the effect of "don't call me for help picking him up from school." and similar classics.

Later that evening her current boyfriend texted me that he had to ride his bike over because she had tried to cut her wrists. The trip from his place to hers is a 40 minute bike ride, and I was told that he had first responder training and took care of things, but they didn't call 9-1-1 and didn't go to the hospital. So obviously this "attempt" was not that serious. And now today I'm getting a lot of "how could you let this happen" and how she feels so betrayed by my fiancé and I.

There is honestly so much more to this story about why her accusations of any of this being my doing are ludicrous, but mostly, I wanted to provide some follow up for my earlier post and also see if anyone here can offer me some advice on insulating my son, myself and the rest of my family from further drama should she try to start any.
