Wow. I must say this is so touching. I am happy for this woman, atleast she is not dead yet therefore there is hope for her and she can better take care of her children. Most times when abuse gets much, victims prefer to just commit suicide than keep experiencing the horrors of abuse.
I know a lady going through such at the moment, but won't leave the marriage. Though my advice for her is to leave the marriage before the whole emotional abusive experience graduates to being physically abused.

Another lady went ahead into a marriage with a man who was already beating her up even before getting married thinking it would stop when they get married. The union didn't last a year.

Get out when you still can. You sure will get all the needed support. Thanks again Hive account@zen-art
