I think you are all right. Next time he has a big blow up, I'm going to insist that he gets treatment. I've tried to take him to a crisis center before and he wasn't having it. I've threatened to leave and he threatens that he would never let me leave alive. I'm going to have to call his bluff and just leave the next time he treats me like this. I've tried leaving before and he wouldn't physically let me out the door. I'll have to wait until he is gone or sleeping to pack the kids up and go. I would never be able to get him out of the house without police involvement and I don't want it to go that far. I just want to get my point across.

Today was a good day. He was in a great mood and was helpful. I wish it was always like this. I guess now it's just a waiting game, we'll see if I have the guts to do it when the time comes!

Thank you all for your advice, I'm going to give it a shot!
