Child custody

Me and my sons dad split up 7 years ago. Since then we have co parented fairly well. He’d stay with me Monday-Friday and his dad would take him every weekend Friday-Sunday.
Last year we got back together and the relationship really quickly became very controlling. Often he would tell me to get my son out of bed at 10pm so he’d take him to his house or ‘we’d be over’ ect. I became very unwell mentally due to the constant control and manipulation and he took my son for the week claiming it would probably be better to just end my life as no one wanted me and my son would be fine.
we split up and the arrangements went back to Friday and Sunday back with his dad. Recently he’s been telling me he’s keeping my son for extra days and not to disobey or he would ‘tell people what I’m really like’ ect. 2 weeks ago he refused to bring my son back at the time he was supposed and blocked me and didn’t give me any say. Since then I haven’t let my son go to his house until I have something in place where he can’t just do what he wants. My son was really happy with the weekends at his house and I do believe I’m being fair with giving up every weekend for him. I’m the parent who has to do the ‘boring’ stuff. Since he’s realised he can’t control me he’s constantly telling me he’s going to get 50/50 custody/full custody. What are the chances of this? Or will it just stay the same as weekends with him and week days with me?
