Suggestions and advice needed

Unless he’s done something to you or baby to prove he’s unfit they won’t just give you full custody because you say so unfortunately, he has to be like a drug addict or severe alcoholic. And if he chooses to want joint custody they’ll go that route and you’ll be sharing the child and you’ll have no say who gets to help or how he raises the child when he has him. Having joint custody I will say does help you have the time you need to be able to work and possibly save money while son is at dads. As for moving, it’s hard if you don’t drive. You’d need to rent a U-Haul or something to be able to take your furniture with you and place it in a storage unless you have a friend with a pickup truck or a friend garage you can store items in for a while. It’s hard but not impossible. Don’t expect him to get help or learn to calm himself even after you leave, my kids father was this way and 10 yrs later we’ve been separated since and he still is trying to figure it out.

Mind you, I know he’d never hurt our kids as he is a great father and they love him but I knew I couldn’t live with someone like that because he was emotionally abusive to me. He still is to his gf’s and ex wife, hasn’t changed much there. Good luck, look for free services and help in your area.
