My ex the mother of my son, was a control freak, who knows how my life would have turned out if I had stayed with her. My son is an adult and I have told him "we would have never been able to stay together, there was no meeting in the middle with her she's too controlling" he has since figured it out and agrees. I do always ask about her when I see my son though. Just a general "how is your mother doing...?"
