Please don't ever think your child will be happier without you. You are the most important person in their life.
Don't beat yourself up self, you are going through a rough patch, it will get better

How have you failed child? Why would they be better off without you? So you think you child would be better without a dad and a mum, or living with an abusive dad? You are clearly very depressed, you need to seek help from a GP urgently for yourself and your child's sake. You seem to be focused on jobs? Why so? Have you thought about going to college? Gaining some qualifications, boosting your prospects as well as your self esteem? This is being a good role model to your child also

Have you have counselling for the abuse?

your child would not be happier without you. My son is same age as your. And for 7 years old Mum is their WORLD! You are really gonna crushed your kid heart. His life will be ruin and lost without you. Please be strong. Be strong for him. Remember the pain not gonna last forever. Time will heal everything

You absolutely can! Please go and access all the support you can. Start telling everyone who listens that you need support.
You deserve a happy life and your little deserves a happy mum
