Did you slap him in self defense?

Right now walking away is not an option. We have two babies together and our lives are very attached. We do love each other but he has some deep wounds to heal from his childhood.

Staying together just because you have kids is no reason to put up with abuse. His childhood doesnt matter, its a cop out to stay together "for the kids".
It is setting a bad example for your kids. They will grow up with a dysfunctional view on marriage.

We’ve been to counseling but it doesn’t seem like he takes it serious. Therapy is more than just showing up. It takes opening up and being vulnerable.

Being vunerable is one thing, but it can lead to him controlling you.
