I'm afraid my husband will beat me to death

Angelo was a very kind and loving man but when we walked down the aisle he changed. I've been married for six years.

He began beating me with or without a reason; I remember he even slapped me during our honey moon before he apologized saying it was the wedding stress. He is short tempered; whenever he gets angry he beats me.

I am afraid to tell anyone because he will be arrested yet he is the father of my three children and our bread winner. His parents and siblings are aware and they have talked to him in vain.

How can I change him because I am not ready to leave my children fatherless?
