You're not a "wimp" for not simply packing up and leaving him to the wolves.<br /><br />That said, you're also not a bad person for WANTING to leave. He hit you. More than once. You're not obligated to stay with him forever. You're just not.<br /><br />The only advice I can offer is to talk to somebody who can offer better advice. Some social workers double as therapists, and some work on a sliding scale. They might be able to give you not only the emotional help you need right now, but also resources and services that would enable him to live without you.<br /><br />Good luck.
