He won't cooperate

I told my husband of 3 years that I wanted a divorce last week. Our marriage has been a series of ups and downs, but mostly downs. I can honestly say that I've (we've) tried everything to try and make this work...especially for the sake of our 2 yr old son. But, I have fallen out of love and just simply want to move on with my life. I told my husband that I would be willing to do anything to make this transition as easy as possible. I want everything to be amicable. He just won't listen, though. He won't accept that it is over for me. I'm an intelligent, educated, reasonable person. I've struggled with this decision for awhile. I realize that he is just beginning to deal with it since my annoucement last week (which I tried to do as diplomatically as possible). But, how do I help him to accept that there is no going back for me?
I may want to mention that he is bipolar, but taking medication. This has been one of our struggles. Even on medication, he is quite often in a depressive state. The dr says that his "levels" are fine, so won't adjust meds. He's even tried changing drs. But, no matter. I just want to move on. I've been supportive, I've given up so very much, I've done all a wife can be expected to do and then some. I want some peace in my life now. I want to raise my son, while encouraging a healthy relationship between he and his father as well. What can I do? I don't want to be cold to him...but I don't know how else to get through.
