Alorna: I've been following your sitch for awhile and I agree with the others that it's time to fish or cut bait. If you don't really care what he does to you, at least get your child out of there.
I had a friend whose live-in girlfriend called my friend's son a "loser." He was telling me about this and I said to him, "you know, but not kicking her out, you're basically telling your son that you agree with her, that he's a loser." That was a deciding moment for him.
So, alorna, what are you telling your kid by staying with this worthless, thoughtless, abusive, a$$hole? 1) that your child doesn't deserve a better father figure. 2) that your child's mom doesn't deserve a better partner. 3) that abusive situations like this are par for the course so don't expect anything else out of life.
And so it goes, from generation to generation.
Stop being so selfish and do something in the best interests of your child for a change.
