File charges, go to court and be calm and rational, and even seek some type of protective order if you want one. You deserve to be safe! The end of April my husband hit me and I called the police. The first week I had many moments when I thought I should back off but I got through it and have even extended a protection order. He has proved to me so many times that he will hurt me any way he can. God bless and I pray for peace for you, lots of us here know that is this my life feeling.
