This isn't normal, is it?

My H has been in a huff with me all weekend for reasons I wasn't sure off.

I didn't bother asking as his moods are very up and down so this can be regular, at least once a week, he goes in a mood then snaps out and expects everything to go back to normal.

Anyway last night he said to me he finds me to be very distant and not so lovey dovey etc with him. I tried to explain that the constant moods and silences really get me down to the point where once I would have gone out my way to appease him, now I just don't bother.

His mood turns out to be over me announcing a quiz night with work colleagues, then a friends surprise birthday party from work, he said I just put these 2 things on him?? He also brought up the fact I wouldn't lend him £1500 last year and felt this belittled him??

He is a everynight drinker (beer) and smokes hash every day/night, I reckon a lot of his swings come from the fact he can not cope with life without chemicals or alcohol! He categorically told me last night this is something he will not stop.

Im not sure how we can get around this? It is like he is blaming me for what I think he is the one causing the problems. Maybe I have become a bit distant he makes it quite hard to love him at times as he treats me like crap.

I have actually noticed a pattern of others posters on here having the same problem through drink and drugs and like most he can be a good H and father but this is usually when things are going his way and after hash.

We are talking nearly 30 yrs of cannabis abuse so a lot of the time most people probably wouldn't even notice which is why I don't think the kids etc notice, they just see him as being Disney Dad at times.

I want to ask my D more about how she is feeling and her worries but she is such an anxious child I don't want to worry her further.

I have had her at docs, who asked about family life etc, I was too scared to say anything about drugs and drink in case they wanted SS involved.

We live in a mortgaged house and im seriously considering just leaving and getting our own place, but this would mean we would loose the house as he wouldn't afford it on his own.
