dont get me wrong here..I think you did the right thing by leaving.
Until he accepts and begins to address his abusive tendencies, you are better off without him.
I decided to participate in your thread because I was a former abuser. I saw many things in your husbands poor behavior I could relate to because I behaved very similarly at times.
But if I could start taking geniune steps towards improvement - anyone can.
That doesnt mean they will though. And if they wont, why go back? So you did the right thing here
He sounds like a great father, but he can be an even better one if he can identify the fact he has abusive tendencies. Eventually his children will suffer them.
