will the mental abuse stop?

My husband drinks..2-3 beers in the morning,(he goes to work for 3pm), and then at least a 6 pack when he gets home...every day..never a break. i worry about him, obviously, but he is becoming increasingly cruel. My mom just had a stroke last week, and he has not been supportive. I asked him today, what was wrong, how could i help...he proceeded to call me very foul names, and our adult daughter as well, and said he would be happy if I hurried up and had a stroke, that is how i could help. Last year he threatened daughter and i with a (unloaded) gun...he was quite inebriated at the time. he remembers nothing
He hides it well, but his coworkers have noticed a change..including a RA who recommended alanon to me, or a forum..he has given up being an EMT (interferes with his drinking time..which is always alone, hidden in the garage)

I am heartbroken. I cannot get to meetings.
When (I am hopeful he gets sober, do the cruelties stop?
