Starting to see the signs or just ignored them

My husband always seems to blame me for any of the problems occurring between us. Especially money. I am at home with our son and working on post grad work for teaching so he makes the money. We agreed on this when I got pregnant. But he tells me that the money is his and I spend it all and it is all my fault but my bills are the ones that dont get paid. Lately, he has decided that I have to distance myself from my family. They have caused me stress but his mother has verbally attacked me in the past and did the day I have birth to our son. I can't ask to do anything or want anything otherwise, he throws a fit and we have fights. He doesn't respond in conversations and he starts nasty fights but refuses to talk. I have tried to leave but cannot no matter the support around me. All I can do is wait it out, keep my head down, and wait for karma to hit him over the head. When things are good - they're good. I think about how much I love him and how close we are but then this happens and it reminds me - I am being controlled. He used to hit me and hasn't in a long, long time but I also have tried to remain submissive in fights and that seems to help. He walks out a lot and then tells me I'm running away when I walk out. I used to forget about it when things got better, but I am starting to see past that.

How are you doing? I hope all is good. My heart bleeds for you really. No one should go through this. You are taking a good step reaching here for help. We back you up no matter what happens.

I understand that you can't get out no matter how much support you have. I still think you need to be in tough with your family. Even if you have to keep that secretly. They will reach and help if things get worse. Take care of yourself and may god bless you and your son. I wish your husband will wake up one day soon realizing his faults and get his head straight.

Wait, why are you still with him?
