Relationship breakdown

After two years of being a victim of emotional, financial and sometimes physical abuse I have decided to leave my partner. I am 20 and have a 13 week old baby with him.
My baby has been poorly and in hospital for bronchiolitis. My partner was working on the night time of him going in until about half 11. He then had a course at 11am the next day and didn't bother to come and see our son in the hospital despite me telling him how bad it was.
When I got home that evening after being at my mums he stunk of alcohol and after I asked him why he never turned up to see him he accused me of being mean and evil because "I knew he couldn't come up to see him". We live 15 minutes walk from the hospital if that. Anyways, I decided to leave as there is no way I am letting him put himself before our baby, and then having the audacity to go out drinking knowing fine well his baby was poorly and I was in a state after seeing him so ill.
I'm at my mums and we are going over tomorrow when he is at work to take my thing s without him knowing. I still have feelings for him which I know is wrong but I can't help but feel leaving him without the electrical appliances is too harsh ie fridge, washing machine and dryer. My family paid for them so they are technically mine but I just feel so awful and wish none of this had happened. Sorry for the long post but I just need someone to reassure me that I'm doing the right thing other than my parents who hate him. Confused

You've done the right thing. Just don't make the mistake of going back to him please.

Your son deserves a better dad and you deserve a better partner.

How does he justify going drinking when his son is so poorly.

Stay strong.

I did it. I finally did it and I am okay. I never thought it would happen

Well done. You have done the right thing. Stay strong as I;m sure he will beg you to go back to him, prepare for this.
