Nearly 20 years and then in a huge argument that turned physical he took out one of our (love) toys and proceeded to beat me with it, then switched to other vices such as putting his hand over my mouth (I was screaming - LOUDLY) while strong-arming me into another room.
I took the toy afterward and threw it away - two days later - still sorting out what happened and the fight and are we going to try and work things out and he noticed that this toy was missing so I told him why...now he's told me he's moving out, taking the kids (teens), and we're done.
I don't know how to fix this! Please help- my heart is shattered.

And get custody of the children because if he can hit his wife, then he will hit a teenager. I know your heart is shattered, but I don't think you should go back to this man. 20 years is a long time. But now you got your life back. You can't fix this relationship if he's not willing to fix it with you. To me, if a relationship turns physical, then it's OVER! Why would you go back to somebody who you know will hit you? But this is entirely your choice.
I hope you do what you feel is right for you and your children.

He attacked you. There is nothing left to fix.
This is the time you put your shattered heart to the side, and focus on defending yourself and your children from a man who doesn't know beating his wife is not acceptable.
