Well, abusers very rarely change their behavior, and an attempt at getting him to change could be dangerous. The abuser does need psychological help, but that cannot be forced on him. His control over you will continue to increase as you stay with him, and any attempt to defy him will make him angry, and he will feel that he has to "show you your place". Although he may slander you, and point out all of your insecurities, do not believe him. Be proud of who are, and stay confident. You will probably need to move away, for the sake of your children. This does depend on the severity of his abusive nature. Growing up without a father can have a very negative effect on a child, but not to the degree of growing up with an abusive, over-controlling parent.
I hope this helps, and if you do move out; then don't forget to get yourself into some therapy so that you can better understand the reasons that he acted the way he did, and that the situation was (and is) not your fault.
Keep them away from the father and make an agreement with him not to be verbally abusive to your children
Immediately. Reach out to a close friend or relative for help, and leave as soon as you can.
Call the police station and speak to an officer about it. If the step-father is threatening the children he can be removed and not the children.
If your husband is verbally and emotionally abusive, you can break the negative cycle by seeking the services of a family counselor or filing for divorce.
Generally a verbally abusive woman has control issues and she will carry them into most relationships. However, there are a few women that are verbally abusive to one or more men, but may meet a man that she is not verbally abusive to as they are better suited for each other.
We can not say we have not met her.
Yes, unless he has been through counseling or therapy.
not always but some time they can be both
I think its important to try and stay with some one for the sake of your children, but it sounds like your marrige is so bad, that all you are likely to be doing is upsetting the children with your arguments, and him being abusive to you. I think long term, the children will be happier if you split up, and they could see both their parents truly happy.
Sounds like a dumb idea. Why antagonize someone who is not capable of controlling their anger to the point of physical violence? You simply need to leave.
When a spouse is verbally abusive, that is oftentimes a precursor to domestic violence which can escalate to physical abuse. When a spouse quits paying the bills for the house, or controlling all of a marriages financial assets, this is called financial abuse.
He was verbally abusive to his daughter but there's no valid info about him being physically abusive.
