Oh I'm really bloody angry. Going to vent here, sorry!

This will be long!
I seperated from H a couple of years ago.
He works abroad, coming back to England for a few weeks every 3 months.
A few months ago I was really, really struggling financially.
Was in rent arrears, and had put my car up for sale to try to get straight. (Insurance is sky high)
Then DS did something silly and I had to take him to hospital in the middle of the night, so decided if at all possible I needed to keep my car.
I have no family near by, and really rely on it.
H was "sympathetic, but not really my problem"
Fine, fair enough. Even though he earns plenty and only pays the minimal amount of maintenance
Sold other bits and bobs, cut my food bill right down and took out a small provident loan [grr] and .
Got it all sorted, car still costs me more than I can comfortably afford, but I want to keep it, so am dealing with that.
Today I get a phone call from H, he's ordering some fishing stuff for when he gets back, "only £1000 worth", because he needs it.
And if he fills my car up with petrol could I drive him to the Lake District and pick him up again?
FOR REAL????? I live in the Midlands. He wants me to drag my children all the way there to drop him off, drive back with them, and then do it all over again, using my car that he wouldn't even give me a tenner towards.
Because I've said fuck off no, I'm apparently a mardy bitch and should get the divorce paperwork sorted for when he gets home.
This man is so self absorbed. I'm raging and so fed up with always being in the wrong.
Sorry to vent on here, but it's been eating me up and I feel like I might burst out of my clothes like the Hulk if I don't get it all out.
So at least my clothes are safe for now....
