What a nightmare. WIthout knowing the full situation, here are my preliminary thoughts concerning how to proceed. Get out of your mom's house, find somewhere else to stay that is safe for you and the children. If your husband won't sign the divorce papers proceed through the courts or retain an attorney to help you do that. You can request a domestic violence restraining order regarding the abuse and the stalking. You aren't required to stay married to anyone in this state. Place distance between yourself, your kids, and your toxic family until they come around. Hold off on moving in with your new boyfriend if you can help it. That move is making the whole situation more volatile than is necessary. Get yourself and your kids into counseling.
Best of luck!
