Can I have a private post please?

I am after some advice please. I have finally admitted to myself that I am in an abusive relationship and I need to leave for the sake of my children. This last week has been the decision maker really as it has just been constant. Constant name calling and verbal abuse in front of the kids, pushing, shoving, etc. He has screamed and sworn at the kids and pushed them around too. Telling them they’re fucking little pricks and he’s going to kill them. Last week I stood up for the kids again and was trying to leave the house but he locked the front, back and garden doors, hid my phone and my car keys until I agreed I’d stay. The following day he snatched my keys out the ignition and again wouldn’t give them back until I agreed to go out for a ‘nice’ family day out. When I was trying to get out of the back gate he smashed the tv remote into my chin and then later that evening he pinned me on the sofa and squashed my neck which bloody hurt but because he’s never physically left a bruise or really hurt me I have trouble believing that this really is abuse. But I look at my kids tonight after a terrible night and I’m thinking to myself they deserve so much better and I feel so shit and like I’ve failed them that I’ve let them live in this environment for so long. I guess I just want to know how long after you leave someone does it take for your heart not to hurt anymore and how hard is it really to walk away?
