You might want to talk to his pediatrician, and see what they suggest. If you feel like the situation is extremely difficult to deal with, and you don't really know what else to do, in spite of any other advice you might get on this site or from his pediatrician, you can try contacting a family therapist. A family therapist can help you with child development/parenting issues, that many parents face with their toddlers and young children.

One thing that stands out for me, is that your son told your husband that he isn't his father- this indicates that he is likely affected by your divorce from his biological father. His behavior might be an outlet of his frustration toward that situation, which is normal. It is also normal for young children to go through periods where they act out, it is sometimes a way of asserting themselves and trying to be their own person. But if children hardly ever cooperate and constantly throw tantrums, they might be frustrated and angry inside, and not know how else to express their emotions. For this reason, it wouldn't hurt for you to express your concerns to your son's pediatrician, and see what he/she suggests you do. They might give you tips/pointers, and can also refer you to a family therapist who can help, if needed. All the best :)

i was never married to his father and hes only meet him and was old enough to remember him once.

I am here to give honest advice, when I feel I have something to contribute. I try to be as empathetic and understanding as I can, as I know that the way something is said is as important as the message itself.

I usually advise on love/relationships, friendship and family issues, nutrition, and health (mental and physical). If I feel I can help out, there's not a whole lot I am unwilling to answer. Ask away!
