Madly in love with him but he won’t change and seems done with me anyway :(

I’m brand new here. He’s clearly maladaptive andnused to be an alcoholic and addict and I waited years after he quit drinking to date him. I’ve been in love with him since I was 14. I moved my life and my son 1000+ miles to be with him and he’s so cruel and I don’t know anyone here. My son likes it here and got a girlfriend and now I am usually alone. I just feel bad and not like I can front around strangers alone. But I live with him and can't date or go places with some other guy and it’s a small small town. He’s so mean but also like amazing when he is happy. But he gets angry so fast about things I don’t ever know what they were. I’m not sure what I need other than him to acknowledge and work with me. But that’s not happening. I need to figure out how to get there. I want with all of my heart and soul to be with him. And he is tired of me:(

We're sorry for the pain you're in, but are glad you've found us.  The good news is that you can learn coping skills here to help make things better.  Can you tell us a little more about the good and the bad?  What does he do when he's happy that makes you feel good?  Can you tell us about a time when he got angry quickly about something?
