Ok so it's been about 20 days now since my husband of 7 years told me he wanted a divorce and he wasn't willing to try to work on things.

Whatever you do...take the child support, alimony and health insurance and be sure to get an attorney to put that into writing. I know this is hard to imagine and you "feel bad" but when you get into the single mom role you will realize exactly how valuable those things are.
I am not sure where you live but in SC and in FL grandparents and other families have no rights to your child. I know this from expereince. However, I allow my son to see that side of the family because they are his family and if I take that away then I look like the bad guy later. I don't make anything easy for them, I just make him available. As long as he is safe and has a good time, I will continue to allow them as much visitation as his school schedule will allow.
As for your emotional state, I hope others will advise you. Once I made my mind up to go that was it. I truly believe that when you're done you're done. It took me two years to get there but I did. I think when you get away from this marriage you will realize that you are now free to be with someone who will love and cherish you. Just take some time to yourself and figure out what went wrong then heal your wounds and move forward.
