I feel like I cannot possible take my husband's aggressive behavior anymore. It's progressively become more violent and more frequent, and now happens around our children. It began with occasionally hitting or breaking things. Then throwing things at me. Then grabbing or pinning me down. Spitting on me. Then shoving, then hitting, then slapping. Leaving me sore, bruised, and scratched. He frequently threatens to kill me during the smallest of arguments. Calls me horrible names. I've begged him, threatened to leave him, and he always promises to stop. Says he's so sorry and that it will never happen again. But it always does. I've wanted so badly for him to care as much as he says he does and just stop hurting us. But I can't take it anymore. No one should endure this anger and violence, especially not our kids. It's traumatizing them, and he doesn't care at all when it's happening. When I've tried to leave the house with them during these horrible episodes, he's hid my keys, thrown my phone in a field, broken my things, and says he'll never leave me alone. And that he would probably kill himself if I ever try to divorce him. I just realize he won't ever stop, and I don't know how much worse it will get if I stay. It's already unbearable. Lately it's once a week or more, over the most stupid things. I know he doesn't want me to say anything to anyone because he's afraid of being judged and losing his job as a physician. But what option do I really have? I don't think he even realizes how serious his behavior really is. It's like once it happens, an apology is suppose to be enough to brush it off. Until the next time. We need help.
