Respected mam....
First of all make recording when he starts abusing you that maybe audio or video recordings then make your mind clear whether you want to stay with him or get a part .. if you want to stay with him then convince him for not to do so and if you want to take legal action against him then these recordings will help you alot in each and every minor as these are admissible in the court of law along with the certificate of 65b of Indian evidence act..... Yes you can also take help of that recording for convincing him a bit kind of trade that I have these recording if you will not stop abusive language then I will go to the court of law.....

You have to prove allegations made against your husband in divorce petition
messages exchanged with husband , emails , call recordings would help you in making out a case
No need submit the proof, you yourself is the proof in the court because you are the victim and the other party is the accused to perform mental cruelty.
