Wow...first off, good for you to realize the gravity of the situation that you're in. That in and of itself is a HUGE thing for most women.
To the best of my knowledge, Qatar doesn't acknowledge (read: they won't do anything about) emotional and verbal abuse. They tend to take the approach that it's a personal, family matter and the authorities don't get involved very easily...until something more serious has happened (physical injury or worse).
For complaints of physical abuse, you can call the police and press charges against your husband. Not sure exactly how they will handle it, but it is taken more seriously.
There are several counselors around town for you to avail yourself of. Make an appointment with one of them (PM me for details if you don't know of any) so that you've got additional support as you're going through this process and making important decisions. They might recommend someone he could work with as well (assuming he is willing to get some help).
On a personal note, I would also advise you to ensure you've got all your ducks in a row re: your kids (so that he can't take them from you). I hope he's not abusing them as well, though their being aware of his abuse of you is certainly abuse enough.
