Angie, I am going to share some things with you that I learned on the domestic violence hotlines. He sounds like an emotional batterer. The first thing a batterer will do is isolate you. Sometimes they can make it feel like what they are doing is your fault. This keeps you from getting help. When you wrote about him taking the truck key and your money, he does not want you going anywhere. He will slowly escalate the abusive behavior to test how far he can go. This can escalate all the way to physical abuse. please know there is a safe way out for you and your children. But you need to do somethings to prepare to get out. You need to gather important documents on you and the kids along with any money you can hide away (even if it is a little at a time, it adds up). You might want to keep the papers & the money someplace safe so you can get to it if you have to leave with the kids suddenly. Also call your local domestic violence hotline & keep the number with you. PM me anytime you want.
