It sounds like you have taken the time to learn about this.

When I asked her why she wanted to move out, she said because I did not change a lot of our S diapers (huh?).
You will hear all sorts of crazy stuff like this. Let it roll off your back. Blah blah blah, however, if there is any chance you ever hear her mention anything that should ring true, stop and take a look and make some changes. There is always room for improvement.

The first few months have been rough for both of us. My son has been accustomed to not having his mother around. I am trying to hold it all together. Luckily, I have a wonderful family and close friends to help me through this.
Right now he needs you like never before. Keep your focus on that little guy.

Since she has left, I have not contacted her unless it dealt with our son. She never answers the phone and only communicates via text message.
Good man.... keep this up. You probably already know that no amount of begging, chasing, reasoning or anything else will work. Letting her go is your only option.

Friends from her work say she looks depressed and does not socialize with the majority of fellow employees. Her cigarette use has increased, lost a lot of weight and looks unhealthy (drugs?).
Depression, running from themselves and lack sleep will make them look ragged. Who knows for sure about the drugs, some do travel down that path. Your concern should be about your son right now, let her blow in the wind. SHE has to come to the realization ALL ON HER OWN.

So, I have now decided to grab a seat on the curb and watch her go by.
Yes all you can do is distance yourself from her craziness. Grab a seat to catch your breath, but whatever you do DON'T STAND STILL. The world keeps on turning. Your life and your son's cannot and should not stop. Keep learning, keep growing, and keep improving.
Try to keep yourself from discussing this with too many people. Come here with it, and please don't be afraid to post on other people's threads. This is how you make friends. We are all in this together....alone (J3B+$0.05)
Now that we know a little about your situation, how are you doing at this point in time? It's great that you are looking for a house. What else are you doing for you?
