Vent session

I’m struggling really bad my boyfriend and I are always arguing. There’s a lot of underlying issues and our fight started getting physical. There’s also a lot of name calling. We were stuck in a pattern so this past weekend I decided to move out. We broke our lease and he’s moving in with a friend. We’re going to try co parenting. But a huge part of me is feeling regret. I know it wasn’t a good environment for our son to be in but now everything that we’ve been working on since we found out I was pregnant is crumbling a part. We are both hoping that we’ll work on ourselves take some co parenting class later down the road try couples counseling and then hopefully come back together but it’s just really hard right now. Money is going to be even tighter than it was so I’m going to need to get another master degree so I can get another raise which is going to be hard to do as a single mom with no family around. I just don’t know what to do and I feel so alone and I feel like I made to extreme of a decision but I also know I couldn’t continue to allow my son to hear and see that way we were treating each other. Has anyone ever done a short term separation and had it work in their favor?
