Is it normal for my f-i-l to treat my husband so crappy

thinking of moving as suddenly as possible, but don't want to hurt our neighbours and friends and employers they might think we are traitors and never forgive us.what if we don't get other jobs.my f-I- l calls up yelling and swearing a couple times a week to tell my husband what he is doing wrong in his life. my father - in - law thinks he is that sargent from full metal jacket or something.we literally keeps the lights off when we are home because we don't want him visiting because he is so toxic..he speaks to my husband like he is a convict or a servant or a stupid dog.my f-I-l says he does it because my husband is a wuss and he wants to straighten him out so my husband can be a real man like him. It is like we can't go anywhere around here without my father in law showing up to be a pain in the butt.My father in law has punch him. tried to knock my husband down a couple times, my husband just walks away and goes home. if my husband ignores him he walks past him over and over getting in his face , demanding that he answer him think because he is his father my husband has to put up with this. If my husband stands up to him, he starts crying and threatens to call the police and cry elder abuse.
