Try reading the books by John Bradshaw, there are several, like "Bradshaw On: The Family" and "Healing the Shame That Binds You". I started to read these when my ex-T suggested I read "Homecoming". What I'm realizing is how much I'm hurting my kids and not setting a good example by letting all of the stupid things our families did to mess with their future. It's already messed me up, I don't want them messed up too. When our kids see us allow people to abuse us, they get the wrong message. Taking your self esteem away is a lot more harmful than taking away your company car. He sounds like someone who could do a lot of damage. I hope you can find the strength to either stand up to him and set firm boundaries or get out of the relationship.
