So these recent conversations explain the exact dilemma I feel - how do I look at my husband? Is he in an affair/addiction, or has he just "moved on?" Do I quietly accept that he is finding happiness elsewhere or fight for my M? Do I work with his new life in terms of coparenting or do I fight to keep the OW and his partying lifestyle as far from my son as possible?

Obviously, I believe that he is in an addiction and I need to protect my son. But how can I be sure? I hear others when they say let go and work with the new sitch and move on. Just want to be certain that I'm doing the right thing so I know how to proceed, in my perception of H, my custody battle, and my attitude toward marriage.
