What do I do very worried?

So I found out my OH was talking to women online. But it led to us having two massive arguments. We both said things, but he said I can't look after our son, and he won't leave until he gets his own place and takes our son. So then, the next day, I just had this on my mind. He didn't seem to understand why I was upset. So when he went to the shower I took his house keys. But he discovered they were gone when we were about to go shopping. Obviously, He wasn't happy, and then he said he was going. When I was like go and he saw I wasn't begging him to stay. He sat down and refused to leave. So I left and took our son out. There were other family members sitting there, too. They witnessed him calling me names and again saying I am a bad mother, but I also said the same. Cut long story short, I was out with our son and wouldn't go home until he left. I said if he doesn't, I will be calling the police etc. So he did go, and I need time to process everything if I want us to continue. Now he apologised and I have no idea where he was staying. He said he I love you, which I don't think he ever loved me. I have never done this before. Normally, I confront him, nothing really resolved. He denies what he has done. Basically, it's swept under carpet we move on, and then it happens again. The cycle repeats, and he keeps denying things I find out. This time enough is enough. I need advice because now I feel like it's over too scared to let him back in case he takes our son. I plan on getting a residence order. I have said I would pack his stuff up for to collect. I felt at peace him not being here but sad for our children. We both have older children from previous relationships. Then we got our lo together. I honestly feel so sure it's over, but a part of me wants him back. Apart if me, like I need to stop him, keep disrespecting me, he doesn't think he is doing wrong. This why I just snapped him walking in putting down sofa bed like no care for what he did or been doing. No like I am sorry it was some explanation which was lies because he asked to meet someone in our local town. Saying send your number, and god knows if he has or hasn't been meeting various women over the weeks. He said he accepted his mistakes. Sorry now because I made him go, but it feels like he will trick me to come back and take our son. This has freaked me more out and just feels sad for our lo. I said to him go you want to be a single man. You don't love me just wait a bit longer as I will sort something then you can see our lo. Meaning I will get the order in place. I don't want to do it but he took his child from previous relationship off her mother back home from where he from. So it's hard got to hide my lo passport too. I feel sick at the thought he take my son away. After everything I have done for him. This was a relationship, almost legally married but we didn't do court weddings. This was because he needed a visa. Time after time, he hurt. I would say for the past two years, it would be like we just flat mates, and I just have had enough. Anyone gone through this I need advice.

With him refusing to leave once you decide you don’t want him there is not only down right disrespectful but it’s abusive behaviour. He’s basically manipulating you because he knows that you haven’t wanted him to leave previously and he wants you to beg for him to come back. He wants to see you upset and suffer as he knows how much it’ll hurt you and you’ll give in to his commands. That’s not right. Threatening to take your child away from you is abuse. Gather evidence of his abusive behaviour. If you have anyone near you right now like your own family then please stay with them. Don’t tell him you’re leaving just do it as he may try to stop you. Once you’re somewhere safe let him know you and your child are safe and you’ll talk to him soon but you needed to get out. File for custody of your child. He’s unfit to look after a child because look at how he’s treating you. Even if he did take your child, likely thing is that the courts wouldn’t side with him completely and you’d have

Shared custody. If he did leave without even telling you and wouldn’t say his location with your child then that’s kidnapping. My dad’s ex wife did this, it destroyed him. Said they were in France but they were somewhere else entirely. Took ages to find where they were. So he can’t up and leave and he can’t just take the child to another country. Mothers 100% have rights but personally if I was you I’d make the first move with going to court because he’s not going to get better unless he wants to. You and your child deserve a safe place and environment to live in. I wish you the best

Thank you both
