He's 7. He's a great kid.
I agree, I agree. ITA. She's a bitch, and verbally abusive, and is totally fucking him, and she's exhausting to deal with. BF hates conflict, so...
I can only suggest, And I refuse to nag, and it's his decision. She's fucking him, though, and I can only be supportive and encourage him not to be fucked.
(Is it wrong for me to say, damn, I wish I could just STEP IN AND TAKE CARE OF IT?! I know, I know, I know! But I don't mind conflict, and she's the kind of person that will back down if someone stands up to her, and I just want to SMACK HER DOWN and say, Listen, here's what's gonna happen. And if you don't like it, SUCK IT. You're the one who cheated on him and decided to fuck it all up and move away to be with your boyfriend. LIVE WITH YOUR CHOICES, CHICKIE!)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
I am so incredibly thankful that there people who took me in, clothed me, fed me, loved me when I was kid. My biomom is kraxy, much like the people Erin and Cashmere are entangled with. I know it couldn't have been easy having to deal with the kraxy while loving me. I am so thankful people did it anyway. It's why, even as an adult, I have a number of surrogate families whom I love dearly.
((((Cashmere, Erin)))))

msbelle, I think so. But I dunno all the details -- plus? conflict.
Argh.
Cash, your sitch is way worse. Genuine crazy. At least Bf's ex does love her son, and, as much as I wanna smack her down, there IS attempts at being civil and a wanting-the-best-for-him. She just is...unrealistic and self-centered, I suppose. And I love BF dearly, but he is not as assertive as I am. (He apparently has a thing for strong-willed women. I told him this, and he agreed readily.)
He knows he needs to be more assertive with her, and is way more than he used to be. It's a process.
I HATE processes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister got herself embroiled as proxy caretaker for a cousin with a crazy mother and unidentified father and overseas siblings. Fuck, the hoops the bitch mother put her through were insane. Woman refused to take her son to boarding school. In Jamaica you don't exactly put a kid on a bus, you know? My sister had to drive him cross country, or no education for him.
As soon as he got old enough he moved in with a much older sister in the US, but he'll never forget all the things my sister did for him.
You don't have to tip for takeout, do you? I am, but last time this place didn't charge my card for the tip. And I'm not putting on as much as for a sitdown meal, which I think is reasonable. Or is it?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I tip for delivery, but not for takeout that I pick up from the restaurant.

I think it's reasonable to add a couple of bucks if they put together a nice bag with napkins and utensils for you. I never add a full 15% for take out.
