What is most sad to me is that you feel you cannot leave based on your fears of what he would or could do. That is emotional blackmail on his part to threaten 100% custody, which will naturally make you afraid of making any drastic moves. He has accused you of abuse, threatened to call the police and social services, and he has told his family members and friends that you are abusive. These are all scare tactics to keep you in line and in a fearful position, which is exactly how abusers operate. You are living in fear and under his thumb of control and manipulation, which makes me very sad for you.
