I feel so much different as I age. There are so many things in life I want to explore and participate in. I've lost 120 pounds and I want to be active and try new things. I don't feel scared to be by myself, I want to be by myself.

The part where he said what he did and pulled your children into it, using them as a manipulation to guilt you into staying was an early sign of what was to come. People like this will go to great lengths to make sure they don't lose the one they have in "bondage" to them. Using the children to manipulate you is a very low blow.
I'm glad you're feeling better and wanting to be independent. I hope you pursue that and find your own way!
