Question

If a husband is cruel to his wife and kids, what should the wife do, ask for a divorce or just be patient? Which option is better for the Aakhirah?

Answer

If the cruelty is unbearable or affecting your deen then it is better for you to separate.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
