Is this emotional abuse?

Name changed for this..
Is this ea?
Oh is nasty when I'm sick - there's no hugs and sympathy - he thinks I'm being manipulative and trying to ruin his life. He calls me weak had basically acts like I've let him down. He refuses to take time off work to look after the kids so I can rest or recover then he wonders why I'm still exhausted and sick the next day.
When we've been through stressful events he says and does exactly the wrong things - he offers me no support and then says I'm 'emotionally unstable' and goes around telling people and me what a burden I am.
When we had a miscarriage he said I hadn't because it was v early on (really a chemical pregnancy but it felt like a miscarriage to me).
He says I'm abusive to him - to be fair I've got so worn down I do say nasty things to him as things are just so bad between us and I feel I've been so hurt.
I'm looking to leave the relationship but had wanted up fix things for the sake of the kids rather than walk away.

Believe me being a single mum is way easier than trying to deal with your kids and an abuser. 7 years down the line I don't regret leaving for a moment, best decision I ever made. Xxx

I would say follow your gut. If you think it is abuse it is I think. I'm in a similar situation with my husband atm. Been battling PND but keeps saying how much he has had to "put up with" for 10 months. I'm also very confused. If you have any friends or family near by, go for the night you'll know your answer if he tries to stop you!
