Re: domestic abuse
You really need to get you and your son to a safe location.
You should go to this web page, where you will find resources for you and your child. You CAN have him removed from the house, and you can CAN change your circumstances.

Running away is not answer.
Your husband is presently entitled to stay in the same home.
Your solution is to seek legal counsel, and if there is an imminent risk of physical not verbal harm, you should definitely act at once.
