OP - It does seem as if there is a communication problem between you and DH, and he may well be putting time into his job and his golf to avoid life's situation with two intense kids.  However, before you jump on the bandwagon of divorce or not, why would you not consider a couple's counselor or seeing someone yourself first to work out with professional support what your expectations are for DH in marriage as a partner, parent as well as a provider. I do think since the kids are school age that your perspective on how to present things that you need and why might be easier if you found one or two outlets for yourself out of the house. As you better define your needs and options, you will be stronger to request his involvement with counseling as a couple and then see where it goes.  If there is one thing that you know DS would enjoy doing with Dad, then I would present this as a priority one of parenting and say you expect him as a Dad to do it and put his golf tee time around it.  It might be scouting or going to a sports game or whatever.Try to present it in a positive way.

I forget the age of DS, but in the short-term if money is no option, why not try to higher a a male college kid for the summer to do some activities with him and cart him around.  DS might really benefit from some time with a peer a bit older.  Also, make sure both of the kids are doing things they will enjoy this summer since you can afford it, and maybe a couple of weeks of overnight camp.  This should help you feel like you have the time to pursue different interests.
