child abuse

Document.... Document....Document!!! If your children aren;t old enough to write it down themselves..do it for them. Look for any kind of brusiing on their bodies. If you have a cell phone ..take pictures if he leaves marks. Go to the courts and file for a PFA ( protection from abuse.) Do it now, not later because eventually your children will come to not trust you if you don't protect them. You have a divine right as their mother to protect them. It'll stop him in his tracks. I know first hand what your feeling and it's hard but you have to set the guidelines for you children, because their dad has a distorted sense of discipline, and He won't stop unless you make him. He's already betrayed them with his violence....don't you betray them with your silence!

It sounds like the kids need to be taken away from this situation. Child Protective Services needs to step up and intervene immediately. Keep calling CPS to push this along. You need to do everything in your power to protect those kids if they are being abused. It sounds like you are doing your best but having a tough time with the system. Again, make sure CPS steps up and does the right thing. Good Luck
