I think Srila Prabhupada's daughter or sister (one of them) was in similar situation. So srila Prabhupada advised her to cook for family externally as duty while remaining detached from non-veg internally. One possibility is you can involve ur husband in cooking non-veg and gradually over period of time let him take ownership. I know this may be almost impossible as some men just don't want to cook.
If son is very young he can be taught. Please follow the advise given by HG Radha Rasamayi Mataji

Hare Krsna Mataji,
PAMHO.
I can understand your situation. YOur family is future devotees. How you treat them today will determine how fast they come to devotion.
THerefore, much asyou dislike, please cook non veg for family members and give them. Try to ensure that daily one meal or one item in the whole day they eat is prasadam, after offering to the lord. Rest you pray for them and yourself.
If its possible for you, you keep your utensils separately, in whihc you will make only bhoga and even eat.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Radha Rasamayi DD
