change of tune from co parent - any hope of going back!?

my ex and I have been divorced for 5 years now - we share custody of a 6yr old - we were very cordial the entire time , i would say actual friends - had open communcation, chatted frequently, were very flexible with eachother, etc - we essentially had NO issues - i got remarried about 1.5 years ago and recently had a baby - my life is seemingly thriving with my new marriage and baby, a solid career, a new rockin bod, etc - my ex is in a lot of debt and lives at home with his parents (almost 40 years old) - recently he let me know that he needs better boundaries and only wants to communicate via email now - his tone has COMPLETELY changed out of the blue and hes being an a-hole - NOTHING bad happened leading up to this - now he is not allowing any phone calls, texts, etc and is communicating super cold , rude, and short on emails - is this because hes jealous my life is thriving and it all just caught up with him? are there any stories of co parenting turned bad turning BACK to good? Im heart broken of the change and want to hold on hope that we can go back to how we were for the sake of our kid but something in him has changed and now im worried this is forever 😞 i need hope lol or at least to know that this isnt going to totally fuck up my kid - i will say to our kids knowledge, he doesn't know things have changed - it just keeps me up at night thinking this will impact my child
