Another member on here gave me the best advice when leaving my abuser that I will now pass onto you: listen to the part of yourself that is screaming inside to save yourself, your kids, and your dog. Do not listen to any other part of you that says you love him and/or can't leave him.

You can do this. Just do it and don't stop to think about it. This is your sanity, your mental health, your safety, your kids' safety, and your dog's safety. Whenever you feel yourself weaken, think of all the worst things he has done to you and your loved ones, and let your anger, rage, disbelief, and sadness fuel you into action. Like others say here, RUN.... don't walk... RUN.
