Staying in toxic marriage too long

I'm stuck in a marriage with a controlling and verbally abusive wife, feeling like I'm walking on eggshells, exhausted and losing myself.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew I deserved better and could recognize the signs of an abusive relationship sooner."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't stay in a toxic relationship for the sake of family or fear of being alone."
