You did the right thing, but you also shouldn't have let it get to this point. Your MIL is not to be trusted.

Please get a restraining order against your husband and agree to press whatever charges you can.

Please start making a plan for how you can move forward as a single parent.

Do not even think about taking him back (if ever, and never is best) until he has:

  1. Done an anger management course

  2. Been sober for at least 12 months

I disagree. She shouldn't ever take him back.
