I too was the victim of abuse as a child, and I married badly in the past. I am very glad you are in counseling, however I know others in counseling with abusive husbands who stay with them. The counselor cannot stop abuse, but you can.
I also have RA and am on disability, so we have a lot in common. In spite of that, this may not be the answer you are looking for. We all have our personal feelings and opinions. I have a zero tolerance for aggressive or abusive behavior in the home. If I felt intimidated or had a raging spouse, I would not stay for one minute, in spite of my precarious financial situation.
Every time you stay through a rage incident, you are exposed to emotional harm, if not physical danger. I refuse to expose myself to any more of that, whether it be from family or anyone else. So in your situation, I would leave.
But we each have to choose what is best for us and our situation, and only you have the answer to what is best for you. I'm so glad you are getting help, and I hope and pray you stay safe.
Thank you so much for sharing. Every woman who shares her story helps others. You've done that.
