How I Am (Trying) To Deal With My Abuser
I wish I could tell you how to deal with abuse while staying in the home, marriage, or relationship. After all, that's what I'm trying to do (right now) too. I'll tell you what I've tried and what the results were or have been so far.
You are the only one who can determine what your course of action could be. I highly recommend talking to someone face-to-face about what's going on with you. Even the "wrong" person can set you out on the right path. Honor your intuition - you ARE worth listening to.

Let's Compare Notes
Please contact me and tell me how you cope with your abuser and how your methods work for you; with your permission, I'll post your suggestions online.
