Leave him. You and your son are much better off poor than staying with someone like that. I know it scary to leave when you have no back up plan but you won't regret it once you are free of him.
I think leaving is a safer choice than installing cameras. Yes, the cameras may uncover things to confirm your suspicions, but your instinct to fear your husband is enough. I shudder to think of the repercussions if your husband discovers those cameras.
OP, even the people coming out swinging with mallets are just looking for your best interest and that of your son. Please take the advice and leave the vitriol.
Swinging mallets? What thread are you reading? I see some serious concern for the safety of the OP, and her child. No hysteria, and no mallets.
This is a bad environment for you and your young child, and you both need out. I think you need to put your energy toward making a safe departure asap.
I wish you luck, safety and freedom for you and your child.
I know some surly men - they are not sunny or smiley. Yet their children love them and they are excellent fathers.
This man is making you and your child miserable. Being poor sucks, but so does living with someone who is terrifying to your son and who has threatened and degraded you. In fact, I'd say that second option sucks way more than the first one. A child can be poor and thrive; a child who is terrified and unhappy will not thrive.
If you leave he MAY try to harm you and your son, but if you stay, it's a very good bet that at some point he WILL harm you and your son. See a lawyer. Call a shelter. Make an exit plan.

You're right, but if she does stay longer the camera could provide her with evidence that she could possibly use against him....if need be...when she (hopefully) does leave...to keep him away, and keep her son with her.
