Well done for protecting your children and yourself, Leala! As he is now trying to do better and has gone to the doctor and so on, perhaps this is the wake up call he needs. I do hope so.

Oh Lexapro (that is the brand name). My son was also on this medication for a time. We have an article about it here on the forum, with much information, should you wish to read it:

Lexapro (escitalopram oxalate) for PTSD

Ah. So it sounds as though he has agoraphobia? That is the fear of leaving the house alone, crowds, open spaces, being out of control in certain situations away from home and so on. Many people with PTSD have agoraphobia to varying degrees, some worse than others. Your husband will need treatment for this as well. Certainly though, if that is the reason for him not giving you a gift then it is understandable.

Take care Leala, and do keep us informed of how things are progressing.
