You can't fix anyone but yourself, so leave, painful though it will be at first.

We have no control over anyone but ourselves!! This a choice that only YOU can make. If he is verbally bashing you just to lower yourself esteem to make himself a bigger man then don't you think its time to get the heck out!!

If your children are having to witness this verbal abuse, do you really think your doing them a favor by staying so they have to continue witnessing this, or even perhap thinking this is the way of life!!

You might want to get ahold of your church see if they can help, or call a woman's shelter get their advice.

Take care

What do you mean by 'family', are you living with your parents, his parents? Do you have children together?

Why do you feel you have on the choice to stay.

What is your relationship like; why do you say he controls you, and what do you mean by mental and verbal abuse, i.e. are there substance problems, mental health issues.

A little more information would be helpful before advising you.

Either he goes, or you go, and you get help. There is no other way for you to change his abusive ways.

GET SOME HELP!

How long have you been with this male?
Are you married?
How old are the children? Are they his children?
What part of the world do you live in? (It will help narrow down what services are available to you.)
Do the mothers know about his control and abuse?
Has it ever gotten physical?

Think about this: He isn't only abusing you. He is abusing your children. He doesn't have to direct it at them. Their witnessing what you go through is damaging to them.

They may not want to leave the school they are in, but they may have to make that change. Though they don't think so right now, it could be the best thing for them.

It seems you want to take chances on getting a job before leaving. What happens if he finds out before you are ready to leave?

There are organizations that can help you, but you have to reach out to them.
