Need some veterans to answer here... my H changed all passwords while I was away and put me on an allowance that has continued so far. How would you normally have reacted? Try looking at that and doing something different. I marched down to the bank and cleared out everything I could and set up a personal account. That helped me feel more secure, but was probably sending the wrong message to H. But you have to protect yourself and your kid. Looking back, I wish I would have calmly called & said something like 'i see there's been some changes to our accounts, please tell me how you were planning on resolving our financial intermingling.' I learned after that my H was doing what he thought he had to to protect himself, thought I was going to be vengeful and go crazy with the credit. Plus he really wanted his privacy and to be out of my financial control. Doesn't make it right, but it may help if you can try to understand where he's coming from before reacting.

Are you working? Are you relying on him to take care of you? With the truck purchase and the house, he's obviously making some decisions that are not in your best interests. I think you should try communicating in a calm manner, then take steps to protect yourself.
