How do I get out of this abusive relationship.
My partner and I have 3 children and he is the provider for the family. He is extremely verbally abusive and it does get physical at times. He has not always been like this it's like 1 day he just changed. He always tells me same story of how he is going to change and I am sick of hearing it. We have been together for 6 years and it has only gotten worse. I recently lost my mother and things have gone to hell since then. He actually tells me he is doing me a favor by being with me. I have been a stay at home mom for the past 5 years and recently found the courage to get back in school and this drives him NUTS. He tells me I'm sleeping with my classmates and professor. He was just laid off from his job and collects unemployment and sits around the home (which everything is in my name because his credit is horrible) and does nothing all day, and gets mad at me when I come in tired from school or dealing with the kids which I do all alone and ask him for a little help he tells me "You had the kids, you deal with them" The police told me I can not just make him leave and the only person I can turn to for help is his mom who tells me to "hang in there" I am physically drained and don't want to put my children through this.. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! I NEED HELP!
