I've known more than one person who's been in a co-creating project that turned toxic. It isn't worth it for the work, especially if, as you say, it's self-published. You'll never be able to look at it without thinking of all the ways you suffered.
Get out. Create something new on your own that you can be proud of, and think of this as a rehearsal, a learning experience. The people I've known went on to do better stuff alone, because they didn't have to spend all that energy on dealing with their co-writer. And honestly, probably half the reason you think you can't do it alone is because the co-writer is telling you that you can't.
(This isn't to say that you can't have a great co-writer; I've known people who definitely have. But the product isn't worth an abusive relationship, no way.)
