I assume you immediately called 911 as to the threat, took out a warrant and had him arrested.
As to the rest of your post, after a case there are no do-overs (other than an appeal or motion for new trial, which your lawyer may be able to file if this is less than 30 days from the order). You did badly because you chose not to have counsel.
Pro se cases (especially with a child involved) are almost always catastrophes. I can offer you no help, but your post is a warning to others not to make the mistake of thinking they can be their own lawyer.
Mutual restraining orders are not allowed. You did not provide sufficient information to know if your husband filed a cross petition and you each have a restraining order against the other, if by "railroaded" you mean he got you to enter into a consent order, or if there was a hearing and the Judge issued an order. In any event, you need to seek the advice of legal counsel immediately if you want to file a modification or contempt.
