Sugaree,
I agree with Songbird. Some folks do "mistake kindness for foolishness."

And being nice is not always being kind. Niceness is sooo much easier than being kind. It is not kind to either yourself or the other person to allow them abuse you. It is much easier to be nice than to be kind.

Be kind to yourself and to your son and this woman by standing up for your rights. Then move on.

If you enable someone to abuse you, you are sinning against two of God's children. Yourself and the abuser.
Children are unable to defend themselves. You are a woman. Defend yourself.
