No, you are right. It's just unfortunate that she cannot financially manage it, because it doesn't sound like he is abusive---an a-hole, maybe, but not abusive.
I was frustrated before but now I'm very sad for the OP.
I wonder, why not move back in with the family if possible? She's already got money going there to supposrt the family, and her mother could probably use the support as well.

Like, if you watch a sad movie, something upsetting happens, he says or does something that really hurts your feelings, or a pet dies?
How does he react when those around him cry or display emotion, like at a wake or funeral?
How does he react in those situations, himself?
I dont cry much in front of him because normally hes not sympathetic except when it's about my mom... but then he just trashes her and says I deserve better. Other than that I cry alone or maybe in the bathroom when I do have to.
He doesn't cry. I have never seen him. When he gets upset or frustrated he just gets angry or sullen.

She used to not be but then drugs and alcohol changed her personality. she gets angry a lot or belligerent. that or she sleeps all day. She'll leave to hang out with friends that are a bad influence where she gets more drugs. She cant stay clean. shes a great mom but when shes sick... it's the worst. She has come at me before like a bull when she was drunk one time so it's hard for me to stay with her 24/7, even if I could. She has good and bad days. The kids are in school so thats been better. It was a pretty tough summer.

Another suggestion I would make is pretend your good friend that you really care about and love just told you about her relationship with her boyfriend, and told you exactly the same things you have posted here. Ask yourself what your suggestion to her would be. Would you suggest she stay with a guy that treats her like that?
What would you tell a good friend who was in the same exact situation you are in?

I'm not good at love advice AT ALL. I saw your question earlier an really thought about it but I dont know. :/

Interesting. Most people would at least have an opinion. I doubt you would tell your friend to stay with a guy who she is not totally happy with, and who doesn't seem to care about her feelings.
If you're a serious poster with a real issue then I suggest you find a therapist to talk to.
