Pressing charges is hard work, at least in my experience. Hang on tightly to the belief that you're doing 100% the right thing. He broke the law, and he should not be allowed to get away with treating you that way. It is illegal and it is immoral. Follow up with the police and prosecutors, be organized, and don't let anyone talk you out of it.
ETA: Its such a hard, but ultimately best decision you've made. I've never been in your position exactly, but I just wanted to offer you a bit of advice. For you and for your beautiful daughter, do everything and anything you can to work through this. It sounds like you have wonderful parents to fall back on, and that you're pretty strong. I hate hearing that one, but I'll say it to you anyway- you're so strong for doing what's best rather than what's easy. It won't happen today, and it won't happen tomorrow, but try to forgive him (and yourself). Maybe that sounds a little from out of left field, but you don't want bitterness to come into your life.
