If after a year, nothing has changed between you then my suggestion is to quit joint therapy and go to a therapist for yourself. As far as offspring go, divorce is hard on them. However do you want your son raised to believe that marriage is something without love, where all you do is hurt each other? Better to separate and end the arguments. I suggest single therapy, and speaking to a lawyer and accountant to get things in order. Honestly, you don't need her to make changes. You can make changes yourself. If when she starts arguing you do not respond, merely say in a calm tone that you will not tolerate being spoken to like that, and then hang up if a phone call, walk out of the room/house if at home, she will have to change simply because you won't be there to fight with. Make plans for the weekend of things to do with your son, and just do them. You don't need her permission to go to the park/play frisbee/play minigolf/go on a picnic/visit grandma. And start doing things for yourself with friends and family. You need to strengthen your support system.
