I’m terrified

I need to separate from my husband. The problem is my home is in Florida. I am currently in Washington because of his job. My options are to fly 8 hours or drive 3000 miles there with my one year old. I’m terrified of both because my one year old is a busy body and would probably do horribly on a plane. He does well with car rides but I don’t know if it’s smart to drive that far alone with a toddler.

I feel stuck.

I need advice, encouragement or stories from people with similar experiences.
