Having been in a relationship with an alcoholic as well as being one myself (now sober 29 years), I would like to chime in with the others who are encouraging you to act for yourself and your kids. His drinking will almost certainly get worse unless/until he finds his way to sobriety. He says he only drinks once a week, from my experience problem drinkers lie about how often/how much they drink. And your fighting and his mother being involved also indicate he has a serious addiction.
Trust me; you will not feel good about allowing your children to grow up in a home with an alcoholic. That never is a good thing.
