WOw...my heart goes out to you and while I understand your staying for your kids I think you really need to leave. My husband has told me from things he has read and I have read them to that the moms happiness is tied very closely to the kids happiness. You will be a better mom if you are out of this abusive relationship. My parents stayed together too long (until I moved out for college) and when they finally did split my reaction was that it should have happened sooner. Don't stay for the kids because they will probably be happier if you don't. He will have to pay child support and most likely money for you as well. It's time to take care of yourself and in turn take care of your kids. You all deserve a better and happier life.
