Right so husband I haven been seperated for 2 weeks now he is an emotionally abusive person.
so far he is seeing our son every Sunday but saying I am not giving him time to see him in the week I offered but he is too busy.
then on Sunday just gone I said would you like our son for 5 hours instead he says yes that’ll be great. Then all of suddenly day before when I issued if with divorce application he only wants son for hours now.
he drinks and smokes however last month I was going to a festival. I talked about getting class As never did any could be bothered in the end. He was saying he wanted to try some. I was like nah. Anyway he keeps telling me me I need to sort my life out as druggie.
now I just worried if I went full custody how could I win

There isn't really any such thing as full custody now. If you separate you should agree with him some contact time. If you don't let him see him then he could take you to court and will almost definitely get contact.

Your son really drew the short straw with his parents. Poor kid.

If you can’t mutually agree custody it will be 50:50 unless there is a proper reason why not. I suggest you avoid all drugs from now for the sake of your child
