I thought that the ending was great and fit with the rest of the movie. The Babadook was clearly a metaphor for grief+depression, and it's something that never goes away. It gets stronger the more you deny it and refuse to face it, but once you do (the climax scene, when she probably sees the decapitated head of her husband underneath the top hat), then you can move on and have some normalcy. But it still never goes away and you still 'feed' it--but the best you can do is keep it from interfering with your life (keeping it away from her son until he's old enough to deal with it). That's what all of the talk was between the son and mother was for with 'protecting' each other from the Babadook, as they're both grieving (in much different ways) over the death of the father/husband.
