My son and his wife recently got divorced. They were married for a few years and have one child. About 3 years ago she got a boyfriend (the neighbor guy of all people) while they were still together and she ended up moving out. They have been totally separated (living 2 hours away) for 3 years. My son tried his best to get her back, but she had no interest. She was having too much fun dating and partying and rubbing it in his face.

My son has been dating a woman for the past 2 months but kept it a secret until after his divorce went through. He started dating when she filed. It officially went through last week. He figured if his ex knew he had the girlfriend, she'd probably make it rougher in court.

So as soon as the divorce was final, he introduced her to us. I liked her a lot from the minute I met her.

As soon as his ex found out about him having a girlfriend, she got really angry. She is calling my son constantly, threatening to take him to court for more money, can't believe he has feeling for someone else, threatening to take his son away, etc. He about has to answer the phone in case it is about their child that she has main custody of, but he has every other weekend visitation.

I just don't understand it. She is the one that wanted the divorce, she had the boyfriend (she no longer has him) and she moved out. She filed for divorce. She didn't want him at all and now she is furious he has someone.

Is this normal?
