Is it possible he concocted the whole scenario to get out of discussing budget?
Yup.
He's a scared little boy being forced to deal with some consequences. Stick to your guns Julie. You can do this.
And, don't allow him to talk to you like a disrespectful teen. If he goes there, shut him down...walk away, tell him firmly that you will discuss this when he calms down...dial 911 if you have to...but set that boundary. You're nobody's punching bag.
If he utters a single threat..."I wish you were dead"...that's enough to drag his a$$ to jail in most states.
Empower yourself. Vent here. It's so important that you be the grown up for your children.
You are doing AWESOME. :-)
