I am uncovering a lot of truth about my mother-in-law after she essentially falsely imprisoned my daughters while babysitting and my husband is not cooperating

So, about six weeks ago my two ten year old girls were locked in a bedroom for over 24 hours at my mother-in-law’s home where they had no access to drink, food, or bathroom. After learning of this, I immediately called the police and started a case against her. Since then I have realized that my two girls have been traumatized by her and I enrolled them into a processing therapy and in addition to this, I learned that my daughter’s broken arm from five years ago was a result of abuse and not an accident. The woman had slapped a door on a five year old so hard that she broke my baby’s arm.

There were some random things which always made me wonder if she was “with it” enough to babysit but I never thought that she was cruel because my husband never once mentioned it. My girls have now told me so much more than haunts me. My husband also is now telling me that he was mistreated after his father passed but was too old for it to be in the same way as my girls. So I don’t want to doubt my husband but I am so disgusted that I can’t deal with him at the moment and I moved in with my sister and girls for the time being.

I am going forward with pressing charges as well as suing that woman and my husband tells me that she is mentally ill and didn’t know what she was doing. I don’t agree with this and I am entirely ignoring him. I have cut him out of this entire situation due to his bias and I don’t know what to do with my relationship. What do I do with this mess?

I am 36, female.

TL;DR - I am uncovering a lot of truth about my mother-in-law after she essentially falsely imprisoned my daughters while babysitting and my husband is not cooperating
