When I say get out, and find help, I mean call a hot line, a shelter etc. not necessarily someone that's a friend that may not understand.
His keeping it quiet is a form of isolating you and it also puts you in a position where you feel powerless to do anything "No one believes" kind of thing makes it so that your word, if you try to tell someone means nothing and thus you remain powerless
Call the hotline for domestic abuse and find a local shelter.

Thank you for your blunt honesty. I can't promise I'll do it, but I am the type of person who needs a good kick in the rear to get moving sometimes.
I am afraid of his reaction, but I'm more fearful that I'm not strong enough to be alone anymore.
I am so ashamed that I'm letting my life crumble, that my kids are growing up in the same toxic relationships I grew up in. It's hard to admit I've made a mistake.
I am very sorry that I've been whinning, thank you for sticking it out.
