Terri, I am not sure what I am mustering is courage, but I can certainly say NOTHING would have kept me in an ABUSIVE relationship. You sound like you have been treated like less than a person (perhaps less than a house pet) for many years. I used to be an "until death do us part" fanatic, but I realize now there are more than one kind of death. No human being ever deserves or easily survives being yelled at everyday, belittled, verbally assaulted, and dehumanized. That's the stuff wars are made of, and I am sorry your husband brought so much of it home to your marriage. He'll survive without you. You may not if you stay. Keep your plans. Good luck.
