Parents are held responsible for their children now days.3.) Stop being a victim. It's self abuse to not care enough about yourself to allow him to stay when you could file for a separation/divorce and get on with a healthy happy life.I am not saying that process will be easy, but the first step is to change IS ACTION. 4.)Think of the expample you are setting for the children. What are they learning about self respect, personal boundaries and responibility for ones behavior?5.) You are in an abusive, manipulative relationship. It can do things to your self esteem, cause debilitating depression and steal your strength to change it. You need support; friends and family that are positive loving people.6.)Seek counseling ASAP!7.)Start putting away as much money as you can. Anything you find laying around in drawers, every time you go shopping write the check for $10.00 over and get that back in cash. Go in with some friends on a garage sale and take your sale items over there - sell and put that money away. Do everything you can to build up a nest egg.8.)Become independent in every way you can.9.)You have to be good to yourself. Learn how to do that through counceling and if you cannot afford that look for any women's organizations to help you for free.Good luck to you and God Bless!

In this situation i would see a solicitor.
They can help to remove your husband and get him to pay child support.
I'm sorry i can't give alot of advice.
