And how would calling him out on his lying bullsh*t help you and your son?
He has shown you who he is, if he wants to spend his life lying and covering up his actions, so be it, best to leave him to his own devices, nothing healthy for you in this equation.
I agree with Hawkeye, communicate by text, texting lacks the emotion that phone calls often add to an already emotional situation.
AND when he texts something unrelated , or NOT about the child, you do not have to RESPOND.

Be strong, don't get sucked in............
