To Want to Leave With the Kids

I am feeling stuck, depressed and very unhappy with my husbands behaviour. I work fulltime, he 'minds' the children (I prepare all the meals every evening, do all the laundry, housework,etc).He has become very anti social and hard to live with.
He has over the years become very worried about finances (we are totally in control, no debts other than a small)mortgage and insists on daily tally's of everything we have. He questions the cost of all the food we eat, he could buy it cheaper, etc. I ignore this and buy good value nutritious food regardless.
In the past 2 days he has:
Forced the children to watch what he considers to be educational documentaries (which they hate)
Pinched our ds
Smacked the toddler
Shouts and fumes almost all day.

I have tried, tried and tried to talk with him, using the above specific examples and he throws each thing back in my face, saying its me being over-sensitive, spoiling the children so they are upset if he reprimands them, or that I am trying to prevent them from him delivering a rounded education. Its exhausting.

I am concerned how this will inevitably effect the children. I am also concerned how leaving him may also effect them???
I want to leave, AIBU?
