The other weekend my son, he's 8, says to me that he remembers when mom's boyfriend was drunk and that "it's worse this time." He looks at me and says, "at least you'll never get that drunk." Wow dude. That's heavy. I'm still here 100% because of him. He needs me.
That's so sweet and beautiful 
. I am so glad you recognise what is important in your life and I hope you stick it out for your son.
I don't know your situation, but your username implies you have endured abuse in your life. I'm really sorry about that, especially if it has contributed to your suicidal ideation. Hugs.
Clearly, your son respects you and trusts you. I don't know what the family set up is, but it sounds complicated. Regardless, your son will need you and I believe you will be able to help him navigate through a lot in the future. You're a great Dad!

Being willing to suffer because your son needs you is so admirable. You are doing the right thing.
