Do I Tell AH where I'm at if I go to Al Anon

Brief story: I'm an alcoholic, sober for two years and two months. My AH has progressed in his alcoholism and is verbally abusive. Last night he was raging about my not having purchased his favorite brand of cereal, and that I am not justified in asking him to do dishes on Mother's Day or help bring groceries in because I am not sleeping with him.

I know it sounds crazy, but I am terrified he can kick me out because I'm not "a proper wife" and that I'll be destitute.

I have a good full-time job and benefits, but for some reason, after these very scary tirades and then him being so scary sitting alone in the dark that I am afraid to go to sleep - I just feel - paralyzed.

I found an Al Anon meeting near my house and want to go. IF I tell him, which he'll expect to know where I'm at as the meeting is a 7pm, he will be SO MAD and I'm scared.

How do you handle this?
