Robster, not everything you ABF has told you are lies. I'm sure you have had many, many wonderful times together. But he's become an alcoholic with a brain compromised by booze. The man you fell in love with is gone. You didn't cause his problem. You can't fix it

You have already answered your own question. You wrote that you know the best solution is to leave. So, follow your own advice. What are you waiting for?

Yes, being a single mom with three little children will be hard on your for some time but every time this man abuses you, he's abusing your children.
They are living with confusion and fear. You and they deserve better.

Put together a plan and get you and your kids away from this
mess. You are a young woman. Do you really want to spend the next ten or twenty years of your life in misery and destroy your children's spirits in the process?

As for your husband's family, are any alcoholics? If so that ought to tell you something. You don't want end up like them.
