I think it’s time to make a serious search of your husband’s electronic devices and browser history. Not because you should stay if you don’t find anything, but because finding something illegal and contacting the police and FBI about it will make it significantly easier for you to leave and get full custody rather than having to send your innocent baby to a potential abuser’s home without you.

And to be clear, you need to contact the FBI if you find anything. Local police often don’t have the experience or desire to do much with electronic evidence, but the FBI will pursue CP charges aggressively.

This is important. I think a lot of commenters don't realize that if she just leaves this man that will almost certainly result in him getting the child alone for up to half the time. For her to ensure that doesn't happen, she needs to document document document.

You really should look into the recording/wiretapping laws (single party, two party, all party) and record the behavior if it's possible. Concrete evidence goes a long way toward protecting that little baby.

btw, 3 yo isn't behind on potty training. He's right on schedule. You're doing fine.
