Dear GhanaWeb: My husband abuses our children for mistakes I make

Dear GhanaWeb,

My husband is subjecting our children to abuse and even going as far as punishing them for mistakes I make at home, such as accidentally dropping a plate or not using the right water temperature for his tea.

I have severally confronted him about this issue, but he dismisses my concerns and insists that I stay out of it unless I am willing to endure beatings on behalf of our children.

But when I express my willingness to take the beating, he argues that I would inform my family, which could result in a retaliation for being an abusive husband.

As a result, he sees our children as suitable targets for his actions.

I am in need of guidance on how to handle this situation.
