Wiz gave you some great advice. At some point you have to distance yourself from him and his abusive behavior and take care of yourselves. Maybe that's what it's going to take. As long as you keep putting up with the way he treats you he's getting the OK to keep doing it. I don't envy you the decisions you're going to have to make but wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you and your family.
