I don't know what to say - but this is serious. I'm so sorry you are going through this. One thing victims often do is blame themselves. You said you felt you brought this on yourself. You were severely abused as a child and now as a wife. You're the victim here and you absolutely did NOT bring this upon yourself! Read books on abuse (I listed a couple on emotional abuse in my reply to the post above yours). Try calling the national domestic abuse hotline at 1-800-799-7233. If you read books or make calls, do it from somewhere else so he doesn't see. Ask a friend to use her phone. I'm no expert in this but I have learned a bit about it and my former spouse was controlling. It wasn't as severe but leaving was difficult. But try calling the hotline where people with more experience in handling these things can help. And remember - this is not your fault!
