Hi bswc,
You took your vows seriously, but you did not know he would become abusive and treat you or the relationship in this way. This definitely sounds like an abusive, dysfunctional relationship. I urge you to step back and "take a break" from it. It sounds to me like you need some time to think. Have you been to a therapist? It sounds like it could help too since the thoughts of your abusive stepfather are still inside, even if much of the time they are burried. I can relate to that. I have found councelling helpful. Also ACA might be helpful (survivors of family dysfunction):
