My boyfriend is verbally and physically abusive towards me. I can't even count the bruises he has given me anymore. I love him and want to help him.

Simple...get out! I know it's hard and believe me I have been there. I know what it's like, I know all about the psychological hold these men can have on women and even sometimes women on men. But what you need to remember is that you do have a choice, and you do have the power to say no. You are worth sooo much more than this, you deserve someone who will treat you like the princess that you are and not his front doormat. It's going to take guts and it will take a while to get over but you will get over it and you will heal and you will be stronger and better for it. Take it from me, get out, get a restraining order if you have to, what this man is doing is wrong and its time he knew it.
