I feel like I need some advice!

I'm very new to this so I'll let you all know why I joined.

I love my boyfriend, very much, and have for years, even before we got together.
I knew when we got together that he might have a son but the BM wouldn't let him get a paternity test on what we now know is his son. He tried through the state, they said he had no right to one, he tried through her, she changed her number, then a year later she files for state aid so she can quit work and gets the paternity test.
Their son is almost 2 and talks with me and the dad, just a few words, he's only been seeing him for a couple months now. The BM swears up and down the walls he doesn't talk, and he must be autistic.
He was scheduled for an eye surgery to fix his remarkably lazy eye over a year ago and she failed to show.
I try so hard to make all my decisions regarding him with respect to the way she'd want things handled, because she is his actual mother. Like I make sure to wear pajamas that are appropriate while he's here, even though when I do have my own children I don't feel I would need to be so covered. Just trying to be respectful.
I honestly believe his test results are tainted because I feel he lacks peripheral vision because of his lack of eye surgery and I feel he doesn't speak with her because she doesn't give him attention. Her first son didn't speak either until my BF started working with him on words at the age of 3.

I guess, now my BF doesn't want children because of the effect this female has put on him with his son. I don't know if this is something I should wait out, because I know I want children. I would hate to resent him because he wouldn't give me the children that I want.
I care a great deal for his son. He and I have a definite connection, and he always is excited to see me.

I guess I'm just looking for all around advice. This whole situation is a lot for me to handle.

Until the courts set the new 50-50 legal we're playing her game. She doesn't even really know I'm in the picture right now. If she knew I was living with him (which I have been for over a year now) she probably wouldn't allow the over night visits.

He had his son the first 7 months almost full time but then she said "he's not yours" after not letting him sign the affidavit when he was born, she went nuts and up and left.
I'm just hoping I don't lose out on my chance to have my own kids. Not that I don't love his son.

Before we would go and see him, sometimes just him sometimes both of us while she was at the building we (or he) had him at.

I guess it's just a lot. The mom is a trip. She constantly has something to say like yesterday while he was at work she wrote him a text saying "This is the mother of your son and I'm trying to have a conversation with you. you f**king piece of trash."
Not everyone can be a career Wh**e hunny.
She gets state cash assistance, Social security and child support on both of her kids, doesn't work, lives in her parents house, and has a 2009 Jeep.
MUST BE NICE.

You need to check BF's stance on children. Granted this is new and difficult, but if he's serious & you are sure you want children, better to end things now. My BIL got married to a girl who didn't believe him when he said he didn't want children. They went through a bitter divorce 5 years later, because- he did not want children even though he was clear in the beginning of their relationship.

Part of me wanted to go before because he can treat me like dirt, another part of me is madly in love with him.
I feel like I would be better off without him all too often and feel like a babysitter, not a SM when his son is here.
I'm just all sorts of confused. Wouldn't give him up just over not wanting kids, but that on top of everything else? might be ground to leave.
