Scared and confused

So me and my husband have been having problems in our marriAge due to my family issues as well as our problems as well. He sees how screwed up my family is and sees how disgracing my sister was to her family and says I'm just like her because she is my sister and always tells me when he is mad that I'm a hoar like her and that he is gonna divorce me. My real problem is the fact he texts with a lot of girls on messenger and Facebook and caught him a few times having phone sex. In our culture when a girl disgraces her family she is put upon and no one respects that family no more. So every time I catch him doing something bad he turns the argument back to what my sister did and says I'm just showing u what your sister does. I told him its over I want a divorce he said ok but I'm taking our kids and the one still to come and u will never see them again. In our culture they can do that sometimes especially if they find a reason why they should stay with the family. What should I do? Should I stay with him and be depressed all my life and I'm only 29 or leave and pray for the best. I just think ill die if I can't see my kids

Thank you all
I really needed to her everything that has been said to me. I feel stronger knowing that other people understand the pain I'm going through and makes me feel like I can overcome this obstacle in my life.

Depending on where u Live they have support groups to help women get away from men.  But for the rest of ur pregnancy u need to be strong and support u and ur kids.  Try not to stress out because it will affect ur baby.  But u definitely need to get away from him. Stay strong!!!

Women in need is a wonderfull service. They helped me get a divorce from my first husband when he became a cheater and because I was a stay at home mother with no income it didnt cost anything to me. They have alot of services avaible to help in these situations. Good luck dear, remember you are your own person and you deserve better!

My family are not really that close
Brothers only care for themselves and my dad well he is not a daddy figure u can really rely on. I love them all but they won't help me they will just say go back to Yemen give him kids or just deal with ur life being miserable just as long as they don't hv to spend a penny out their pockets.
I gonna look up the women in need and see exactly what that is. Well I appreciate All of the advice you all have giving me. I don't have any friends cause he never gave me a chance to make any and it felt good to get feed back from other people. I'm not a bad person but sometimes he makes me feel like a nobody and I do believe I deserve better than that.

In a situation that seems to have no easy way out, you need to take the harder way which will be difficult now but pay off at the end.  You can get public assistance. I am only saying this for your best interests, so leave him but make sure to get a lawyer and a plan now. Good luck. And don't forget God will help you through these dark times.
