I was engaged for five years to a young woman... she was pretty abusive, but I did not really understand that. It was all I knew at that point.
She cheated on me and left me one night... a while later she called me all upset and wanted to "talk". She was two hours away.
By the time she got to me I had realized who she was and all she had put me through.
When she arrived I informed her that I wanted to move-on with my life and find someone who would not try to kill me (another story).
She freaked. There is nothing better you can do for yourself than move on as quickly as possible and focus on being as healthy as you can for yourself and your son.
I'm sure you know that, but it may help to hear another's verification.
The day you truly realize you are better off and you are your own best and healthiest companion for your son now will be a very liberating day... it is freeing.
There is another side to that lake.
