He used our children’s fees to stake a bet

I told him softly, "I felt disrespected when you insinuated that I slept my way to the job opportunity. I need an apology. Tell me you didn't mean it that way." He answered, "I didn't say you slept someone to get the job. It's you who is saying it now. If that's not what you did then how did you know that was what I was talking about?" He then turned his face to the other side and slept. The very next day, I heard him on the phone, calling friends and telling them that he needed a new job. When he had a job, he paid for some things and I also paid for certain things. When the money involved was big, like paying rent, we split it in two. I remember the very next day that he lost his job, the kids went to him for money and he told them, "Go to mommy. She has the money now." For a whole week, he kept sending the kids to me for their money. I asked him, "But Kay, you just left your job. What the kids are asking for isn't anything you shouldn't have." He said, "I'm unemployed now so I have to manage my money until I get a new job. You'll learn to support your husband until he gets a new job." From then on he stopped paying for all the things he once paid for. I say, "Kay, the light is off. What could be the problem?" He answers without taking his eyes off his phone; "The prepaid." I said, "But we topped up our prepaid only yesterday?" He said, "I used the money for something I needed money for." That night we slept in the dark. One day I received a call from our kids' class teacher; "Mom, the kids have been asked not to come to school tomorrow unless they are coming along with their school fees." I said to her, "No problem. Tomorrow they'll come with their fees." I gave their fees to my husband to pay, right at the beginning of the term but he didn't pay. I asked him, "But Kay, why would you do that? Ok, let's say you didn't pay the fees. You used it for something important. So why didn't you tell me?" He answered rudely, "I borrowed the money with the intention to pay later. Should I be telling you everything I use money for in this house?". Okay, my husband isn't working but have needs so I decided to give him something every week. I was like, "Or maybe he thinks his wallet has started growing money." I stopped putting it in there and instead gave it to him directly. He'll use prepaid money and our children's weekly school canteen fee to stake bet. When he came back he told me, "I did very well. Now the ball is in your court. Do everything you can to let them give me this job. I know what you're capable of.” "Do EVERYTHING you can" "I know what you're capable of." What was he implying? Maybe not what I think but I can't think anything less than that because I know what he thinks. For now, all I can do is to pray that he gets a job very soon because he's becoming unbearable.
