I haven’t read replies yet, so I’m not influenced by them.

He told me that he felt like I was trying to tell him how to act, and to just relax and let things go…

That was a sign, from the very beginning. I was hoping it wouldn’t get worse, but was surprised how bad it got after that.

He responded by saying, “let time do the telling. Is that OK with you?”….I responded…OK.

By the time I got this far into the story, I was thinking I wouldn’t have blamed you if you used martial arts to knock him out when your son was in the car. I don’t want to assume too much about this guy either, but I’m sorry, “OK” was a weak response. If I were you, I’d cut it off right now, no further conversation, unless you’re willing to take even more risk. IMO, the only way he should learn more about you is from your friends, and you should let your friends know you’ve made it CLEAR to him to lay off. I wouldn’t even discuss whether or not you’ll give him another chance. If ANY act by him attracts you more to him, I hope it’s more subtle, and not a result of his “loss of control” or further disregard and disrespect of your CLEAR requests. You’re not just protecting yourself, but also your son, and perhaps even future women (if you can stay on top of this).
