Search Results: not over his exes

So I've officially been apart from my ex boyfriend for four months after he initiated break up. We have a son together so we have to see each other about once a week. We already have a custody order in place. He basically kind of picked a fight and broke up with me. We've been on and off and tried last summer to patch things up and he broke it off this Jan. At the start of the break up he basically was very angry and acted like I did not exist. Especially when exchanging our little boy. He'd drop him off not make eye contact and be gone.

During the entire breakup his mom has been in contact with me. In the beginning I really was desperate bc I wanted nothing more than to make things works and called, and pretty much lost my pride, lol. About 2 months ago I made up in my mind Im going to stop because it's so not worth it anymore. The mixed messages come from his mom mostly. We still do lunch dates every so often and the entire time she talks about him and she kinda acts like she wants me to say something, but I do not. I don't think she's ever seen me just give up cold turkey like this.

When we go out she will say how she prays how me and him get together and one instance when she was babysitting my son she called me and was saying how they were coming over and brought her son by. I made sure to meet her outside bc I didn't want the drama. A few wks ago she called me to "check on me and now very recently she sent me a message so social media complimenting me. I dont' know what to make of this. Also my ex is starting to initiate conversations with me a bit more. He doesn't call me but when we meet he always finds a reason to talk. Whether its stupid things like this letter came for you or he will ask me if he was late when we both meet up at 5:00 pm and he obviously has his cell phone to tell time. I get confused because when I also talk with him mom who was helping me with babysitting she would say how all of this would be a lot easier if me and my son would move in. She also says that if me and my ex would have just move to the city that they were in this seperation would have never happened.

Does it sound like she's forcing him to talk to me little by little. Also sometimes when we meet he acts sad.

My ex moved to South America for work a while back and will be there for 8 months. We broke up a few days after he left, we both didn't want to do long distance and the break up was friendly (we had only dated 6 months). He's a journalist and photographer so naturally he keeps in touch with friends and family through his blog posts. He sends private updates directly to our e-mails through his blog. I was on his list as we were together when he left and after the break up as we were still friendly.

It's been a little more than 5 months now and I just received another update last month. (the first one in a long time) We haven't spoken for 3 months, and the e-mail came out of nowhere. I'm not sure if I still want to receive DIRECT periodical updates about his life. Why is he sending me this? I'm over him and I'm know he's over me. He slept around after we broke up, in fact the day after. And he's started dating a girl in Peru. He doesn't know, I know anything about him sleeping around or his new girl. The e-mail is harmless but quite lenghty, he talks about his work and travel in Peru, he does mention his new girl in the e-mail but refers to her as a "friend". He bcc-ed the contacts so I can't tell if he created a mailing list and just forgot to remove me or if he sent it to any of his other exes. Am I overreacting? Is it weird that I am getting an update or is it normal

Sorry if it seems childish but it's been bugging me, what do you think?
