    The obvious answer should be for you to leave him. Call the cops and this time press charges.

    Do what you have to do for your kids. Your their mother and you have to look out for them if they don't even have the power to look out for themselves. Do the right thing and get rid of that trash you call your husband.

    You and your kids deserve better. Be a strong independent woman and find yourself a real man. Real men RESPECT women especially the ones they love.

    You should leave. Abusive people dont just wake up one day & change. So if you dont do something abt it then nothings ever gonna change. Besides why would you let a jerk like him treat you so bad anyway? Put your foot down and leave!

    I'm very sorry you're in this situation. It can be a scary world out there, but you have certainly 100% got to get out of that environment. Even if you don't care for yourself, do it for your children. You may not realize it, but they will pick up on everything that goes on. It WILL lead them to have serious mental issues.

    The best thing you can do is leave. It'll show you're a strong woman for your children. Don't end up broken and lifeless, old and abused. He feeds on your powerlessness. He's probably worked very hard to get you in this position where you feel isolated and powerless to leave. But you must.

    Talk to a woman's refuge in your town or city - or talk to relatives or friends (but none that are close or obvious to find in case he's a vindictive abuser) - and leave whenever you can. Even if you have to work some silly shift work or lame job to get you on your feet, do it.

    Your kids will thank you - better to be in a broken than a home that is broken. Get out now. You may think you're losing everything, but you will gain more. You are worth something.

    How could you be so DUMB? Leave him, NOW. You have 3 kids. If they are seeing what he's doing to you, they could be learning things and might end up like him. Or WORSE, he could start abusing your kids, if he already isn't... You need to leave his sorry ass. And get a restraining order!!!

    A think you should leave he might not stop doing what what he's doing and it could get worse you have already gave him that chance and he blew it. leave for your childrens sake I hope you make the right choice and wish you the best of luck for the future.
