10 years of Isolation

I'm going to start this off by admitting that I'm completely and utterly over it. The only way my wife is ever happy is if I do everything she says....when she wants it done....how she wants it done. She's ALWAYS talked bad to me, but these days she could care less what flies out of her mouth (you're a POS, you're kids would be better off with you, I f'ing hate you). This usually goes on (because something pisses her off and it usually has nothing to do with me) for about 2 weeks at a time and then she'll be ok for a week....I pray for that peace....but it doesn't last long. She's very pretty and knows it....she's constantly throwing it in my face and letting me know that she could have any other guy. We have three kids...two biologically and the third is from her ex from before we met 14 years ago....they are 15, 13, and 8. She's constantly self diagnosing herself with the latest and greatest health issue and I've tried every route (being supportive of unrealistic sickness made it even worse). She talks bad about my job and ridicules my income....(17 years in the military)....and doesn't even work....she never has...I've supported her since the day we met. It's getting to be too much and I'm starting to hate her more and more each day. I've tried to talk to her....I've tried the counselor...she's very conceited and selfish. I'm not even allowed to talk to my brothers on the phone without her being pissed at me for worrying about "the wrong things" and not paying attention to her. I cant have friends (I used to have a lot but I've lost contact with every one of them)...I cant have any hobbies...and I cant have social media...she's successfully cut me off from the world and when I bring it up it causes arguments...she controls every dollar we have and every minute of my life. If I'm not at work or at home I'm on the phone with her (for like 3 hours at a time when I'm out of towm) or else she will be furious. She's constantly talking down to me and making me feel like I'm the problem....im so tired of it. I've put up with it for so long.....but I dont know if i can anymore...I'm just going to miss being in my kids daily lives so much....all she keeps reminding me of is how she doesn't care if I like anything she says or does because she's taking half of everything if I dont. I love being at work and hate being home....sometimes I'll sit in my car for hours on days that I'm let loose early so I dont have to be around her....again....I love my kids and I wish she was different because all I want her to do is be good to me...but she never appreciates anything I do. I bought her a new kitchen full of appliances recently that she wanted and all she does is complain about it...sorry I'm rambling but I have nobody to talk to....it feels good to let it out anyway....
