Leave this A-hole, and if required sue him for child support.
You can find a job, and replace things... undoing the massive damage that he's doing to your children is going to be the big thing. Get you and them out of there so that they have a decent chance to NOT learn his (and your) pattern of behavior, and force them to repeat it later in life.

For the sake of your kids, please get out.
You say that everything is in his name, but there are ways to escape this. Please get some good legal advice or talk to someone from the United Way, many attorneys don't charge a consultaton fee.
You MUST GET OUT of this situation.
