He'll often start calling me names and insulting me and twists things to make me feel that he is my victim. Things can continue like this for several hours and at times I have literally been on the floor crying my eyes out with him stood over me continuing his angry ranting. He'll also wake me up to be able to shout at me, tells me to get out of his site or his house etc but has this way of twisting things so I have to apologize to him.
His latest is telling me I am controlling, have taken away his life skills and that I plot behind his back with my mother.
But I am beginning to see that I don't deserve to be treated this way

This is clearly abuse. No matter what mental illness diagnosis that your partner has, it’s not an excuse to treat you like this. Playing a victim, trying to make us feel guilty for their faults, is a common tactic used by abusers to keep their victims under their control. Those bad things he accused you for doing are the reflections of bad things that he actually is doing to you. I suggest to read more about psychological abuse so you’ll be more aware of your situation. Here are some links that I found :

You are right, you don’t deserve to be treated that way. No one deserves to be treated that way. Hope you’ll get out of this situation soon
