Hi Hatzer
Welcome to the forum. This is a place where good help and support can be found. Many guys have had similar experiences to you and have been helped to find solutions. With regard to your particular issue, it may initially be worth looking at the 'Ask an Expert' section and making contact with Coram Children's Legal Centre who may be able to give some advice on access etc.
Hi Hatzer and welcome
I think your best way forward at the moment is to look at mediation initially - I think your ex is just angry that you wouldn't (in her eyes) look after your son when she wanted you to, but if she is faced with the prospect of court procedures for you to gain access, then she may be prepared to negotiate - I would contact the mediation service:
National Family Mediation - 0300 4000 636
