It's normal for the alcoholic relationship. My alcoholic brother would often stop speaking to me, or avoid me. I also helped him through a hospitalization, and he distanced himself afterwards. I think he was embarassed about the whole thing. I finally had to detach, because I was always getting my feelings hurt. So I love him from a distance. He lives with my parents, often when I'm over there he doesn't even come out of his room to say hi. I no longer take it personally. When he does say hi, I'm friendly.
My advice is find an AlAnon group, and attend a meeting. It will help you get past the anger and hurt. You will learn to detach with love, and find peace with your relationship.
