Desertion is one of the 15 grounds for divorce in your state, and it must be "malicious, intentiona; and without cause" which does NOT seem the case here.  I strongly suggest that you seek at least a consultation from ana ttorney in your area.  Start chronicling the events that led up to your leaving, including those against the children. Use a note book and put in dates and times and what happened.  If he gets out of hand, call the police and file for an order of protection. Protecting your family is very different from just leaving.  Good luck.
