[quote=Anonymous]OP, have you posted before?

In any case, you're enmeshed in a cat-and-mouse game with your husband. Whatever issues are driving him, he's going to keep doing this sick push/pull thing as long as you're willing to join the dance. If you can find a sharp therapist and both of you can get to the root of what's driving this dynamic, and he has motivation to work on change and breaking the pattern, then there's a chance. But seriously, it's not likely. And you can't make him change. So you work on yourself and get yourself out of the pattern on your side. You need affection, touch, etc. Understand and accept that he is unable to be the source. Disengage.

If you need to stay together for financial reasons, stop focusing on your husband, and focus on strengthening yourself in every way possible. Your children may have genetic predispositions to mental illness, so focus on their health. And think about what they pick up from living with the various sick dynamics in the household. It bleeds out more than you know. What can you do to teach them about these things so they don't fall into the same patterns?
