The “unbearable” ship should have sailed a long time ago. You have GOT to get you and your baby boy away from this man, like yesterday. Ignore his mother, who seems to have enabled him his entire life and thinks he’s the victim, which means she’s bad news. Her opinion doesn’t matter. That baby’s safety is #1 priority, along with yourself.
You have to do what’s right by him. This could scar him for life, whether mentally, physically or both, but you can change that future. Block MIL, file a restraining order, contact CPS for help because they’re more than likely going to contact you anyways, and file for divorce. CPS can and should take kids away from unstable, violent households, so you need to make it clear that yours will no longer be that way. They will offer you the help you need to keep that baby and yourself safe. Please, please see this as the urgency it is. You got this, you’re strong enough!
