Abused or just a needy partner?

So when is a needy partner an abuser? Having just answered yes to 20 out of the 25 "am i abused" questions, i think i can say i am being controlled.
So knowing this, why do i need her to end it, to let me go? Why do i find it so hard to end it and stick to it? Maybe because she changes her tune from nasty and cruel to loving and gentle. I am an optimist, always believing it will change.
My kids have only just found out about the abuse. I had her arrested last night for hurting me; wasn't i brave!! She is sorry and wants to try again. Everyone says "tell her to go", so why do i feel sorry I had her arrested when it was me who was hurt?
Am i mad?
