Close Breakups & Divorce

My marriage was never a happy one. My husband has a lot of issues and I haven't been strong enough to help him overcome all of them. Initially he was physically abusive. He did change that behaviour when faced with loosing me. However, he became "absent", both physicaly and emotionaly. We had a company together and the stress was enormous. I got to a point of being suicidal. We decided we would move to the U.S. to find a better life. I would move first, since I am American, find a job, and he would follow. My ex-husband wouldn't let me bring my son with me initially, so I had to leave him for a year, the hardest thing I have ever done. Yet, I was doing it for the hope of a brighter future. My son is with me now, but my husband was only visiting for 3 o 4 days a month. He claims the company is now doing great and he can't spare the time to be with me. He gets angry when I ask for more of his attention. He says I only want him to buy me things and that I am stubborn because I don't want to go back to Mexico. So I said I've had enough, I want a real husband, a real marriage, and he said he can't give me more time... so he took all his stuff and left me. He claims he loves me, but it is difficult to believe when he is so unwilling to keep his promise of moving here after uprooting me, and then complaining that I expect too much from him, and that his company should come first. I support myself and my son. I don't get any benefit from his company doing good, yet, I am supposed to support the fact that he spends 100% of his time on it. I don't want a divorce, but I really don't see much of a choice, since he is not willing to sacrifice anything, and I am way too tired of sacrificing so much.
