he kept threatening to kill me and bury me in the woods nearby. I was so scared. I ended up with a black eye, and my teeth cut into my cheek. [...]It happened another time where he got me and blood gushed from my nose

and you ask if this is abuse. What do you think? Is it okay to beat your wife and threaten to kill her? That is 'normal' behaviour? Is that what you want your girls to do if they are in a similar situation?

You are doing more damage to your kids by staying in a relationship where they learn that violence is okay, that hurting mom is okay and that females being abused is okay and that they should put up with it. That is what you are teaching your children.
Please, don't use your children as your
excuse for staying. He has been like this since you met. Yet, you stayed and kept coming back. This is not on your kids, it's on you. You are deciding to stay. There is help for women in your situation.
