3.5 year old wants daddy all the time

I'm need of some advice. I'm a mum of 3 boys and my youngest who's almost 4 screams the house down for his daddy. We seperated when he was 2 and he spends 5 nights with me and 2 nights at his dad. When his dad brings him home he screams he wants to stay with daddy and says I don't like mummy I don't want to be here. The whole street must think I torture him it's that's bad.
A lot of nights he screams for daddy at bedtime and doesn't want me at all. It's breaking my heart.
When he's with his dad he gets one on one attention but at home I have to split it 3 ways with my other 2 who are very challenging anyway.

I'm at the point where I'm thinking of sending him to live with his dad and I have him for 2 nights a week instead. It could just be a phase but I can't bear him being so unhappy and hating me. Plus the fact my other 2 boys are so badly behaved and I don't want him to follow their way as he's still so innocent. There's a lot more to this but I've tried to put it in a nutshell. Has anyone else had any similar experience?
