I guess I know the answer to my question...just hoping for someone else who went through this to share how they dealt with it. I feel like moving as far away as possible and starting over...you know, run away from the problem. Not an easy option. Sorry for sounding like a typical "stupid woman", I just wanted to vent.
No, it's not easy to prove it, but prove it you must. You have a 7-year-old witness. You know what's going on. You have to protect them.

I don't think you are stupid. We do the best we can until we know better, then we do better. I did many things I am not proud of when I was enabling my husband. I cannot change what happened in the past. I can only learn from it and do things differently now.
