It appears you have answered your own question!. Are you familiar with the "circle" of abuse that "abusers" typically follow... your description seems to fit him to a t!. If you aren't going to leave immediately, at a minimum, make sure you have a bag in the trunk with some changes of clothes, a little bit of money, diapers, etc. so if you should need to leave immediately at some point, you can... there would be no need to pack, grab the kids and go! I think, in your heart, you know what you need to do, but sometimes it seems easier if some others voice there opinions in agreement... get out before you get hurt.. I was dragged 200 feet by a pickup truck and left for dead because I was completely unaware of men doing these kinds of things, and he had successfully dragged me down so low, I could barely function anymore... I'm now permanently disabled, and in severe chronic pain from not doing what I should have done from when my mind first thought of this... don't cry for me... I don't want pity, just trying to help you before anything like this happens to another person!
Take good care of yourself and the kids... it'll all work out in the end... believe me! There is all types of aid available to emotionally abused women, and that is where he's starting... on emotional abuse!
Let us know how you fare!
