[quote=Anonymous]So, my husband just really isn't a safe parent.  I fear for our 2 year old when in his care.  I never go out anymore because I don't want to leave him in charge.  Maybe you guys can give me some perspective.  Maybe I'm overreacting.  I do want out of the marriage because he treats me like crap.  But, I'm afraid if I leave, and he gets 50/50 custody, I'll fear for my son whenever he has him.  He just doesn't supervise at all.  I've tried talking to him, it doesn't work.

Please give me some advice.

Some things that have happened recently:

Came home to find husband tinkering with truck and 2 year old running around spraying Wasp killer spray.
Came home and husband is in the house getting a drink, 2 year old is outside with a hatchet, throwing sticks in a fire in our firebowl
He let him ride on the back of a 4-wheeler with no helmet
Came home and there was no power in our lower level because 2 year old found a rusty nail outside and stuck I in a socket, and it shorted out the electricity, thank god he wasn't hurt
dropped him on his head, causing a fractured eye socket, skull and concussion.  He likes to carry 2 year old on his shoulders, and I've repeatedly told him to make sure he holds on to him tight, because I'm afraid he's going to fall off and crush his head.  He told me to stop being stupid.  2 weeks after the last time I nagged him on this, this exact thing happened.  
After above incident, I stressed to him that the doctors told him any further bumps to the head in the next few weeks could be very damaging and to be very careful with him.  I came home multiple times to find him riding his tricycle, being pulled in a wagon, etc. without his helmet.  I just don't understand what my husband's problem is?!

Friends tell me to document things, but would that really do anything?  I could just keep a journal and write whatever the F I want in there, so basically it will still be my word against him.  I don't want to keep my son from his dad, this isn't about that.  I want to co-parent, I just want him to keep our son safe.

Please, what should I do?  Any advice?  What can I do when he just won't listen to me?
