Weird turn on me standing up for myself

I told them and showed them my injuries and they said they didnt see anything
They start asking me about what places i can go to for the night
I hear the other officer talking to my spouse on the front porch, they are laughing and chit chatting together
I ask the officer why i have to leave, he says that as far as he can see I'm the problem
I tell him I'm done talking
He says my spouse has agreed to not talk to me and we sleep in different rooms
I have to ask the police if they've had any additional training on how to respond to domestic calls
He yells at me that if i want to trade insult for insult with him he can do that. I tried to explain I'm not trying to insult. He then tells me in a condescending tone that he's actually on the domestic violence council for our county.
I made my way back inside to my dark house, went for a partially hidden spot on the floor behind some laundry, and choked on my sobs hoping they wouldnt be heard
When i make it to family room im still very upset and my husband was there i tell him they want me to leave and Im the problem. He then suddenly shows remorse saying - this is is all my fault, I should have never laid a hand on you, i'm so so sorry, it was dumb of me to...He said all this with guilt and anger towards himself, hes never done that. Says me and our daughter is his whole world,. Then he asks if he can hug me and quiclkly adds that as long as its ok with me and if I dont want him to touch me thats ok too. Then he hugged me and let me cry until i fell asleep
So maybe something good came out of the police being jerks, still - it takes time to measure results

Obviously i hope that whatever happened never happens again and that the remorse shown is genuine.
But i have to say, you need an exit plan just in case.

I know it's not something you want to dwell on but if it can happen once.....

@Picklebobble2 i just took a glimpse through a notebook he has in his truck and saw he's been writing on how to get to the root of and manage his anger. I have never seen him take any interest in self improvement or even acknowledging he has a problem. I feel a small sliver of hope

@morrgin Not good to keep it to himself. Rage is still rage even if you privately write how much you hate it.
He needs to understand what creates it. What drives it. And what he can do about it.
Hopefully he will change. Don’t let your guard down. An abuser doesn’t change overnight
