He also said to simply detach (i nearly asked if he had been reading these forums/MWD books) and focus on myself and the children.
Yes, do this!

Just like the WAS has to hit a rock bottom of sorts its almost like I did too. I mean what else can he do?
Well, quite a bit. Kill or hurt you or the kids for one. In a lot instances, the buildup to physical aggression happens in multiple steps. If you aren't familiar with the signs, it may be confusing.
Get help, use the help, get through this. Be very reasonable.
I'm not sure if there are other aspects you'd rather not share here, but I am concerned about everything you have posted. What do your family and friends say?
The worse of what has happened I have posted on here. There have been no other issues or concerns. I am conscious of the fact that I am only posting the worst of him and this may create bias in the responses.
My family and friends want us to reconcile. They have always said we are such a great couple and we do well together. I have thought the same to be honest. I also feel the majority of his issues are a result of his mental health.
