Hey Michelle, what a nasty thing to say. You know he's just trying to hit you where it hurts. He knows how to get to you and he's going for the jugular - both literally and metaphorically. He's hurting (and he knows deep down it's because of his own actions) so he's lashing out and wants to hurt you as well.
I didn't realise you had a kid. Thank goodness s/he isn't going to grow up with your ex as an example of how to be an adult. You've made the right choice ending it.
If you are scared of future repercussions and given that your ex has made threats to kill your or your family I think it would be a good idea to speak to your local police department and let them know you are potentially at risk. Hopefully it is all empty threats. I would also keep a diary logging dates / times of any further incidents as evidence in case you need it. They will be able to advise you of what you should do.
Let me assure you that when you are ready you will find someone who loves you and loves your kid aswell.
I've had a happy ending to my story. 2 years later I met someone wonderful and we are now married. He's never had to be given a 'last chance', not even close. I'm sure your story will have a happy ending too.
