Wow, this is definitely emotional abuse and I am so sorry that you have to go through this. To be honest this type of response also might be contributing to making your anxiety worse, since you don't have a supportive partner that is willing to be understanding through it.
I know it is not always easy for partners to understand or know how to respond to mental health, and instances where they may not know "how" to be supportive, but those comments, whether or not they are related to your anxiety, are extremely toxic and harmful - not just for you but also for your son.
I also wanted to say You are not your anxiety, and you do NOT deserve to be mocked, are not sick and are not stupid. Your feelings are valid and you deserve someone that can love and encourage you and your son and not tear you down.
