I am trying an informal separation. He uses our son to get at me.His latest threats are that he would charge me with kidnapping my own son and that he will try to get full custody. He says he wants to see his son in a few weeks and i think its best if its a supervised visit.He still claims to love me and wants to work it out yet will not listen when i make any attempt to talk about my concerns. He refuses counseling and refuses to choose us over his ex girlfriend and friends. If we cannot have a conversation i dont see any hope for us.Does this ever get easier?.

Talk to a lawyer soon. You really have no grounds to prevent him seeing the child unless there's abuse or abandonment.
My H hardly spent anytime with the kids, but now demands them 50% of the time. I've heard they are better parents after a split. Some because they love their kids, others to establish joint custody and avoid child support. Get legal help, and if necessary, go to a women's crisis center for counseling. He's trying to control you.
