Law / Property rights in Poland after divorce [4]

I am married to a Polish man and we have a child together, he has three older children from a previous marrage, The mother is not in the picture in any way. We have just had our third year Anniversary, but I've been living here for the last 9 years.

The first two years were great, but slowly over time he has got more and more abusive (not physically, more like lots of shouting, gaslighting, etc...). I just received a long term visa (5 years) and I think I am eligible for a permanent residency visa. But I have no money, I've lost all connections (in terms of family) in my home country. He tells me that I have no rights to anything if we get divorced. He tells me that according to Polish law that since he owned the property before we got married, that I have no rights to the house we maintained during the last 8 years (He paid the mortage and I and utilities, I paid everything else), and while I would never think about just taking our child, he said that it would be very difficult for me to take our child back to my home country because he is a Polish Citizen now and I do not have a passport for our child from my home country. I don't know what to do.
