I was thinking of going to my folks for a few days, then telling him I will be spending the following weekend packing my things up, and give him the choice, if he wants to stay or go away to a friend's place or something... do you think this is OK?
If he's as controlling and unpredictable as you say, it may not be such a great idea to give him a lot of time to think of things he can do to prevent you from going, or at least make it harder than it should be. It's your call, but I wouldn't want to be alone with him AT ALL after he knows you're leaving and before you can get packed and out of there for good.
