If he refuses to comply with your request to take anger management, be prepared to file for divorce and request a protective order.

If there is a protective order in place, do not give him permission to make contact with you, even if he is acting nice or looking sad.

If he violates the protective order, document the violation and report it to the police immediately. If he comes onto the property where you are, don't negotiate or reason with him, call 911.

Take every threat seriously. Call 911 immediately.

If he threatens suicide, don't reason with him. Call 911 immediately.

Emphasize to him that there can be no relationship until he has demonstrated to you, his counselor and any officers of the court who may be involved that his anger is clearly under control.

If he continues to violate your requests and/or the orders of the court, going through with the divorce may be your only choice. He always has the option of working on his anger, and if he does, there may be other options later.
