Great, that's an awesome GAL start!

I want to save this marriage because it's not fair to our son for him to have to deal with long term consequences of her making poor choices.


Well that sounds like a reason to pursue divorce, not marriage. Only divorce will remove you and your S from her poor choices (because you have NO CONTROL over her, she will continue to make her bad choices whether you are married or not). I am not suggesting you pursue D, I'm just asking "why do you want to save your marriage" because it's important for you to understand your motivations.

She's had her own depression issues since he was born (probably much longer, but she was good at hiding them), and so that in combination with mine "wore her down".


Again, I'm not buying it. If she told you that and then moved out and was still being responsible with your son and avoiding dating for a while then I would believe it, but when a woman moves out and immediately has sex with multiple partners and quits taking care of her kid then there is something wrong with her.
