Just remember, document everything. Keep a journal if you can.
Don't give up, but you might have to swallow your pride and take some #### from your ex. Just remember, your doing it for your kid.

Definitely this. I don't have kids of my own, but I work with a lot of kids who come from these kinds of situations. Find a trusted friend to complain to, but never around your child, even if it's not something direct. Children do a great job of interpreting everything you say to be their fault and blame themselves. Find a good lawyer and do everything through him/her.
And don't post anything online. Always take the high road even when it sucks.
