I didn't see this post until now, but I figured I would chime in.

Are you talking about the "hetero" male politicians on the side of the biggest anti-gay inclined party finding comfort in their pages and interns who also happen to be...."heterosexual" males?
If marriage is an institution then let's call it how it is. It's not like it's the supreme court filled with this austere and you're a member until you die or retire gracefully. Marriage today, as represented by heterosexuals, is as dignified and respected as a catholic priest. Sure there's some respect there for the position you're in but a lot of times you're not right for the job and should leave, but often you're trying harder to cover up your mistakes than work at your marriage.
Marriage today is a sham. SOME people believe in it and have found the right person to be with. I don't think this 50% divorce rate is bad. It means we're more open to admit we were wrong than to stay in an unhappy marriage for all the wrong or even some right reasons. I think divorce just means we're learning what it is we want before it's too late. Do I think people need to work harder at marriages yes. Is divorce an EASY option? By no means. I wouldn't wish divorce on anyone but the truth is, if the marriage isn't right, don't stay in it.
But don't sit there and go to vegas for the weekend and get married to a hooker only to get divorced a few hours/days later. THAT is a slap in the face on every person in America who can't get married at all.
I think these divorce rates are stemming from a more systemic problem. The idea that everyone has a capacity to be monogamous is a complete sham. Humans were never made to be monogamous, you need only look at the shape of the male ***** to figure this out. You ever wonder why the head of the dick is shaped that way? It is shaped that way such that you could scoop out another male's sperm out of a ******. I am not ☺☺☺☺ting you: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=secrets-of-the-phallus

The fact that we are subverting our human instincts is the reason for all these divorces. While I believe that a family with 2 parents is the best option for raising children, that doesn't mean that both of those parents can't have a little something on the side (of course as long as both parties disclose this and are ok with it). I just think people get caught up in what other people tell them is the "right" way to live. I imagine that so many more people would be interested in open relationships if there wasn't all this social stigma against it. I am not trying to say that all people shouldn't be monogamous, in actuality, I think of myself as fitting well into monogamous relationships(although wouldn't be against non-monogamous relationships as long as there were some clear rules), but the idea that it can work for everyone is foolish.
Oh ok. We'll still need whipped cream though. Where'd blueghost and cippy go anyways. They know this is only for their benefit right? Oh and get the HD camcorder. ya know...for research purposes (and YES I'm still bitter I was demoted to historian)
I'm still here. Bear traps and whipped cream doesn't sound kinky enough though, but I guess I will oblige you. Let's meet halfway, say New Mexico?
I'm not confident that mothers like that actually love the child enough. They seem to use the child as a tool to both garner a false sense of self worth and as a means to take revenge on their former love. They get the self worth by giving the child anything they want and thus the child shows love for them way more than their ex which means to them they are worth more than their ex. But it's fake since the child is basically being brainwashed. Their revenge comes on knowing that their child, who really can only make so many decisions for themselves and at this age are so impressionable, is basically under their control so long as they do everything the child wants.
The rude awakening comes when the child grows to resent the mother for never setting boundaries and will eventually blame the mother for ruining their lives (assuming the child develops any sense of remorse for its actions in the future) And somehow that will still be their ex's fault.
My step brother's mother was like this. He has a terrible relationship with her now. My other step brother's dad is like this and now they barely talk at all.
From experience that I've witnessed I would say that the best thing to do is to continue to be in the child's life even in a diminished capacity but never falter on the rules and boundaries set. Any chance of getting the mother's custody revoked or reduced?
While it probably doesn't apply to your situation since you seem to be knowledgeable about the intricacies of the father-son dynamic, I feel compelled to tell a story from the other side of the coin.
My parents divorced when I was about 13-14. My father and I never really had a good relationship and when my parents split, I was really hopeful that I would get to spend more time with him and actual foster a quality relationship. Instead he would leave me home alone at nights while he went out to spend time with his secret girlfriend and abuse drugs and alcohol.
When this finally proved to me too much for me to handle, I stopped splitting time between my mom and dad's houses and ended up exclusively spending time with my mother. When this happened my dad unleashed a ☺☺☺☺storm of rhetoric fairly similar to what is being described in this situation.
For example:
His mom is turning him against me.
She babies him and gives him everything he wants.
She doesn't set boundaries and lets him get away with anything. (I was an angel, so this wasn't even applicable)
While my mom definitely took a more hands-off approach to parenting, the aforementioned list did not apply.
This rhetoric was spewed to my extended family and my parents' mutual friends and it worked. It took around 6-7 years for these people to realize that they were all being hoodwinked by my father and it cost me my relationship with most of my extended family and it temporarily cost my mom almost all of her good friends. This all ended when people realized that he was an alcoholic and a compulsive liar but there was a lot of damage done.
It seems so simple to take the side of the parent who is losing their relationship with their child but, it is important for one to know all the information before just assuming that it is the fault of the more hands-off parent.
Once again, I am not trying to apply this story to the specific situation being posed in this thread. I just don't want people to get the idea that these types of situations are so cut-and-dry.
So.... I guess I may be going to Scotland next Spring....!?!?!?!?!
I found out that I made it to the top ten for applicants for a scholarship to study neuroscience in Scotland for a semester. I have to write another essay and I have an interview this weekend. If I get it it'll be a full boat, if not I probably won't be able to afford to go.

Went 3-1 in an individual flight (but we were both 3-0 entering so we split the packs)
Then went 3-1 in 2HG.
In all I spent $50, got 13 packs, 2 promo emrakuls, foil gideon(2HG), sarkhan(2HG), hellcarver demon, and a free long box. Pretty successful I'd say.

you and I seem uncannily similar
