SO, Its pretty much in the title but I still love her and miss her while not wanting either my self or my son to have anything to do with her. I barely win the days through grateful and supplicant prayer to the LORD and I'm not sure what to do with her. To be honest I would rather that I didn't have a child with her but wishing is no good. I feel like I and my son are attached to a virulent corpse until he turns 18.

If she is a bad influence, you can have supervised visits or her rights taken away until she straightens out. I KNOW it is hard seeing someone you love self destruct and leave the marriage. I would recommend the book WHEN SHE LEAVES YOU. It is very beneficial. Be the light and Godly influence to your son. I guarantee you that one GODLY parent can raise a great child.
Hi. You love her and you love your son. Many people go through life changes, and it sounds like your wife is going through one right now. I don't think you have to decide what to do with her - it sounds like she has made that decision on her own for now. I will say that many people make "rash" decisions too quickly - and you might find that she is doing just that. Don't you do the same. Be the father that you need to be and love your son and teach him the powerful love of our Lord and Savior. Let things settle down and let your wife figure out what she wants in her life. Sometimes, people leave their marriages and think the grass is going to be so much greener on the other side, and six months out, they realize the serious mistake they made and want their "good" life back. Maybe you need to just focus on you and your son for now, and see where the chips fall? I wouldn't rush out and get a divorce myself. If it's something she wants, make her do it. For now, I would focus on you, your son and God. Pray for answers. Pray for peace in your heart and life. Change can happen and you want to be sure you're doing the right thing. How long ago was it that you had your son? Could she be experiencing postpartum depression if this is something recent? Has something changed in your relationship or marriage that caused her to want something different? Is she running from something?
I am assuming that "Unbelieving Wife Abandons Our Marriage and Family in Favor of Sinful Lifestyle" means that she has moved out of the home? What kind of sinful lifestyle is she practicing? If you are looking at divorce, do you have biblical grounds?
So does "but I still love her and miss her."
Maybe divorcing is what he should do, maybe not. Perhaps the relationship is salvageable. If she does not know Christ, she is spiritually dead, hence the "corpse." Calling her "virulent" is out of concern for her behavior and ungodly lifestyle being influential on their son and possibly, him. Feeling like he is attached to a "virulent corpse" seems quite an accurate assessment.
Hmm....women vent like this all the time here and don't seem to garner such admonishment.
