You are an adult and you already know the difference between what's wrong and right so that's really not the point of you question now is it?
If you are looking for justification others have already given that to you.
But, if you're looking for a alternative to marriage counseling that can make your life better without having to leave your home then check out my friend Mort's site. He is a marriage coach that can help you over the phone or with his CD's and even go as far as making house calls.
Your husband just needs an attitude adjustment from an outside source because, he's not listening to you right now for what ever reason.

It is wrong of your husband to verbally and mentally abuse you whether he has been in an accident or not. You need to sit down and tell him that you will no longer put up with his abuse, if he doesn't stop it give him several weeks tell him that you will be leaving him and it will be on him to find someone else to take care of him.

He needs to go to counseling, and as a supportive wife, you should encourage him to seek help. Sounds like he has some issues to deal with, and the accident only added fuel to the fire and made his abusive tendencies worse. If he refuses to seek help and/or acknowledge that he has a problem, then you should walk away from your marriage, because no one deserves to be abused. And if you tried to get him help and he refused, at least you'll be able to walk away from the marriage knowing you tried and exhausted all options before leaving. Hopefully he'll seek counseling and you two can work towards repairing your relationship. Good Luck.

You don't say how long ago this accident happened, but I'm sure he is dealing with a lot of emotional issues over it.
You owe it to your wedding vows to try to help first - by maybe suggesting joint counseling, since he obviously needs some counseling. This could open the door to him getting help.
If he absolutely refuses, then let him know that you are considering leaving if things don't get better - he doesn't have the right to take his anger out on you.
You have to let him know that it is 'get help, or the marriage will be over'.
You need to try that first before you just bolt and leave him.

If he had a head injury, this would not be an unusual situation. Have you talked to his doc and is he on meds for his behavior?
You should not accept abusive behavior, certainly not physically violent behavior. If this behavior cannot be controlled, you would be justified in leaving the marriage.

Yes his self pity is destructive. Personally I think it's best to do everything you can first. Go see his doctor and tell him/her what's happening. Find things/projects he likes to do and support this. When his temper becomes violent go out with friends. Tell him you love him and it's not wise to treat you as if you were the driver who hit him. This will redirect his temper to whom he is truly angry at. Understand his new life will take some getting used to and allow him to be frustrated but help him find solutions.

I know you probably feel guilty for not staying with him, but you deserve to be happy too. Just because he's disabled does not give him the right to be verbally abusive to you. Try to get him to go to counseling, if he won't help himself, there isn't much you can do for him.

You need to understand he is going though something that has effected him greatly. You might have to give him some time to adjust. It's not just what going on with him physically. it's whats going on emotionally. You are the only one there, so he takes it out on you. It doesn't necessarily mean that he is doing it on purpose. You need to be understanding and give it some time.
