Sad and confused

I am so sad and confused right now. My husband yells at me and scolds me like I'm a child for the smallest things. I feel as if there is nothing I can do right. His yelling makes me shut down and I am beginning to grow resentment towards him. When I shut down, I get accused of having an attitude and for not doing anything to bring about reconciliation. Even my daughter asks me why is daddy always so mad. He yells at her too and says he is teaching her to respect him. She runs when she hears him coming. Her teacher has asked if everything is okay at home. I feel so embarrassed.

We are living abroad and I feel so alone. He got so mad at me once and dropped me and my daughter off at the airport in the middle of the night. I had to apologize and ask him to come get us, which he did. He apologized and said he would not it again. He has told me if I don't follow his rules I can leave, but he really wants me to stay. He says I am the only woman he has ever wanted.

I was independent, confident and had a career before we married. Now I am feeling depressed, sad and walking on eggshells. When I tell him how I feel he says I need to work thru my issues and am making myself feel this way. He needs to control everything. I am at my wits end. We have only been married a couple of years and I feel like a failure. I want to go home, but I will be going back with nothing. I am scared, confused and hoping he will change. I have asked him to go to counseling, but he refuses.
