It is so sad that things had to really get this bad; for everybody concerned, but specially for your son;
He is acting very immature and is not thinking about the embarrasment and hurt he is causing your son; he is bitter and filled with anger; he want to embarras you; he is trying to upset you; don't allow him to succeed;
Your divorce is nearly final; hopefully soon he will stop his childish reaction and games if he notices that it is not affecting you; he is like a little boy who cannot accept he has lost; he wants attention; he is trying to get you to hurt or to get upset; he would like for you to cause a scene; vow then he can tell people....look see....
Please hang in there, do not allow him to get the better of you!
Should it get too much, when you are alone at home take a pillow scream and shout in it, but do not give him the satisfaction to loose yourself controll.
In fact, pretend as if what he does and where he goes and what he has to say does not matter to you; yes, tell people you are not interested; tell them as far as you are concerned he is "dead"; don't listen to oh this or that; and to him and little "bimbo" ignore them as if they don't exist.
Best of luck. Trust me it does get better!
Be strong!
