.............................................................Leave.................................................................................... All you are teaching you children is it is ok to beat or be beaten. there is more help out there than you could imagine. You local Sherif's Department can help you find the resource's. Personality's seldom change (once a beater always a beater).
Call someone!!! State agency, shelter in your area, councelor at your child's scool...anyone who has agency connections. THEY WILL HELP YOU MAKE A PLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not stress enough how important that is. They will help you figure out HOW to leave so that you and your children are safe and protected. They will help you figure out the best way to leave and keep with you as much as you can financially. Please call someone and make a plan!!! NO ONE DESERVES TO BE ABUSED!!!
Do not stay with him. I know it sounds easier said than done, but you need to for you and the kids. If you don't think you are strong enough to do it for yourself, do it for your kids. Raising a child in this evironment is extremely damaging, believe me, I of all people know. You and your kids deserve better. No one should have to go through that. And if you allow him to do this to the kids, your relationship between your children and you will suffer.
PLease leave him, I was the kid in that family and it's not fun being raised that way, I know it's hard, but if you don't do it, when your kids grow up, don't count on them being there for you because you weren't there for them.
Get the hell out of there and take the kids with you. Go to a battered women's shelter. They'll help you and the kids get your life back in order. It will be tough at first, but things will start to get better. You have to get yourself out of situations like that.
