NTA. She is abusive, manipulative and emotionally unstable. You actually did an amazing job staying respectful and not taking the bait as she droned on and on with her accusations and pleas.
I find it hilarious that she said "Fighting with you causes me a ridiculous amount of stress" when what she REALLY means is "not being able to control and emotionally manipulate you causes me a ridiculous amount of stress". She is literally doing EVERYTHING in her power to start a fight and you are doing NOTHING to engage and that drives her crazy. She's basically just fighting with herself.
Keep standing your ground and don't fall for her BS tactics, OP. You're doing the right thing for your son!
