 Just leave him. He cannot take your child away from you, he has no job and he is a felon who does drugs, odds are people will side with you and look down upon him. If things get difficult you could always turn to your family right? Just until things get better.
I hope that helps.

Reading this str8 out, to me it says no brainer to get out of that marriage. It sounds really toxic and horrific. I dunno what state you live in or how old your child is but studying law most courts uphold the tender years presumption (where a child is best with the mother when they are a certain age). Also, the court would laugh at this guy and see how unstable he is and most likely conclude hes not a good father or role model for your child to be around and therefore you could possibly get full custody. All in all, end this. You deserve much better for what youre putting into the relationship and who you sound like as a person. Good luck.
