Sadly, this is what addicts do. I understand your anger and frustration. However, I can tell you this: you do NOT figure into the equation of his addiction. Not one bit. He may be acting up, acting out, ignoring his obligations ... but he's not doing it to intentionally hurt you. Crazy, right?
The booze is king. It is the central focus. Everything and everybody else is peripheral to the addiction.
There is hope for him - IF he wants to get better. You have nothing to do with that either. In the meantime, you can give counseling and/or Al-Anon a shot. You need a place to vent, be understood, and heal.
