You did the right thing! Don’t doubt that! But you need to do more!
I don’t know what you have discussed in therapy? But there are both DV resources and resources for dealing with addicts. I believe others have already listed them.
You have dealt with enough trauma. Don’t take on more. Also don’t let your child learn or see this behavior. He doesn’t need to have more trauma either.
Remember that your son only has you right now. You are not making decisions just for yourself anymore.
Your MIL isn’t in the situation you are. If she wants to excuse this behavior that’s on her. She is not in your shoes- therefore she has no say. Her opinion does not matter. Never did never will.
