H did not come home from work until late last night. I think he had been drinking. He spent a few minutes in our presence then went upstairs. I was cordial to him, even asked him how his day was. He just said `good`. that was all. I didn`t ask him where he`d been and he didn`t say.He barely engaged with the kids either.

I went to bed around the same time as the kids but when I tried to get into my bedroom it was locked. I was very afraid then. i called H but no answetr. My eldest son was beside me(he`s 13). I called and knocked, rang his mobile, rang the bedside phone too and eventually H opened the door. Are you ok I said. No anger towards him, just concern as I really was afraid he was going to do something.
Yes, he replied making his way to the bed. I got into the bed before him(remember he has slept downstairs since Oct). Where are you going he asked. To bed. I replied. Well, you`re not sleeping here he said. He obviously wanted me out of the room.

I didn`t get angry I just said Shhhh P(our son) is listening. H left

What`s all that about? He`s hidden all the keys in the house including of course my bedroom key.

I haven`t spoken to him yet-he`s gone out and I`m just up. What should I do now? Will he try this again tonight? And all in front of the kids which is another worry.

thanks for all advice
