Can Empaths Sense Negative Energy?

our adult kids do pay rent and since he has been out of work they have paid for the electric bill that was up to 2,000 and they have paid the water bill. He grew up in a 2 parent house where his father worked everyday. The problem is that he doesn't want to work instead of looking for a job he is on his phone from the time he opens his eyes until he is dropping the phone because he is falling asleep. Instead of looking for a job he is on the phone with scammers and he is on his phone trying to file fake law suits and then he tries to get me to do the same thing but I refuse to do it and he gets mad at me. He is depending on everyone to do it all. And even though our kids are paying the bills he acts like he can tell them what they can and can't do with their money and he does the same thing to me we have had 2 repositions for cars because he would not let me pay the payment. He did the same thing with the car insurance. His mother helped us 3 times to get the fines paid to get a car on the road. We got a paper for going through the tolls I wanted to pay for it right away but he said NO and now we have a literal box of toll tickets averaging 3,000 dollars. He acts like laws don't include him and says I am not paying that. I have tried and our kids have tried over and over again to help but we can only do so much. But in the long run anything that happens is never his fault. The most recent repo. Was because the engine in the car blew I wanted to still pay the payment and get it fixed but his exact words were I am not paying on a car I can't drive I mean the list goes on and on I don't have time to list them all. And the worse thing is if the kids don't do what he ordered them to do his go to is if you don't like it you can get the hell out when in reality if they leave we will be homeless

What makes you believe it's your husband and not perhaps someone from his past who is still with him?
