I see myself in you.

In my opinion, you need to work on your self esteem and learn to treat yourself with love and respect FIRST.  A book that really helped me was How to Heal Your Life by Louise Hay.  It really has some good advice.  If you can do the work needed to build  your self respect and self esteem, then you would never allow anybody, including your DH, to treat you the way he is treating you.  I know you are busy and exhausted but you must make the time FOR YOURSELF or there is nothing left to give to others.  Please feel free to email me if you want - I have been in your shoes.
