Sometimes things have to take a drastic turn in order to find out what
is right. You have decided to take that drastic step, and it's the
right thing.
I know it's hard to deal with and removing you and your son from the
situation is the first correct thing you did or are about to do. You
need to keep him safe and get both of you out of the situation.
As hard as this will be to hear, it's extremely difficult for anyone
to change. She may do what needs to be done at first, but slowly
she'll creep back to her normal way. That is unless she is convicted
to making the changes permanent. With most people, it's too hard to do.
My older sister has left her husband a couple times now and he says
he'll be better, but he returns to his old ways soon after she
returns. Now he's using the kids (adults) as a way of trying to make
her feel guilty about leaving. Next time she thinks of leaving I'm
gonna have to ask her what she thinks is the best for her and her
mental health.
This is the same advice I am going to give you. What is the best for
you and your son? Do you want to return to the same situation and be
made to feel as bad as you do now? If you do return, make sure she
understands that if things goes back to the way they were before you
left, you will leave and never return. A permanent change will be
necessary.
