I read your OP and a few responses but skipped to the and found this post. I knew almost immediately that pregnancy and PPD played a massive part in limiting the ability to make it right. Sounds like problems started not long before the pregnancy. There was ZERO chance of a make-up through the pregnancy and that compounded with the PPD. That depression is absolute hell for women who were already on the edge before pregnancy.

Easier said than done, but you have to detach emotionally from her and live your life for your son. She'll always be in your life, but you have just treat her like the friendly clerk at a gas station you always stop at. Hi, bye, all business. If you can check your emotions, you're about to have one hell of high ride raising your son without her emotional strain. 100% guy stuff, the right way. Totally up to you if you want introduce a new women into that time, but I wouldn't worry about it for quite a while. Go get vasectomy or be EXTREMELY careful not to frick yourself even more with another baby momma.
