Thank you. I did call them but they kept me in a loop saying that they were experiencing high call volumes and to try back later.
Should I go to a lawyer first? Or file a police report? I dunno. Anyone that has been in this situation please offer any advice that you can.

I will keep trying to contact the abuse hotline though.

He's lost his mind. There's no talking to or reasoning with him. He just throws me around the house like a rag doll and screams in my face like a banshee. He attacked his own brother last night. He's lost control. I am scared.

call 911 or go to the sheriffs dept and file a domestic violence complaint and have him arrested the Magistrate should be able to give you a restraining order. then goto social services for benefits for you and the kid.

Get out of the home immediately if he's physically abusing you and your children. Take only what you need for a few days. Go to magistrate office and file a restraining order. Do you have a job ? Do you have friends or family you can stay with ? LE will go to the home with you to get more clothes once you're out and away from him. Be prepared To care for you and your children financially, emotionally and physically.

This would be a good place to start and they are local. Their hotline is 24/7.

You are strong and you can do this!

Domestic abuse hotline. They are qualified to help you. There's chat options too if you're more comfortable that way or it is safer for you.

I'm being abused by my husband and he controls all of the money. How can I get out. Our daughter is neurodivergent, so that complicates things.
