How to help my 8 year old son to not cry when his dad drops him home

I’m looking for any kind of advice, me and bf split up over a year ago, we have an 8 year old son together who is so so attached to his daddy, he has only recently started going to his daddy’s house as it was to difficult for him so I let my ex see him in my house, put him to bed etc... a year down the line and it’s just not working, I feel like I’m still in a relationship with him, we don’t have any dealings with each other but as he still comes to my house on his days off I’m feeling so trapped, can anyone advise me on how to approach the matter, my son breaks down in tears every time I bring up the fact that his daddy can’t always put him to bed, my ex isn’t the easiest to talk to as he gets very argumentative and I hate confrontation, I’m just at the end of my tether...,,

Does he stay over with his dad at all?

No, when it comes to sleep time he gets scared and wants to come home, we have tried twice now but he doesn’t want to stay
