Hi Head, just wanted to say Hi, and sorry for what you are going through.
I do not have a lot to offer on this but wanted to give you a hug.
I would probably suggest that you give him the "Silent, WTF, Shaking head in amazement look" Practice it in the mirror. You could also practice completely ignoring his input as until he has about a year sober, he has nothing that you need to listen to anyway. Also, he is telling you all this stuff for what reason exactly?
If he is doing a 4th step, that is for he and a sponsor.
If he is working on amends, he seems way off, since there is no amends being made and it is done where it "does not harm the receiver or others"
No part of a program involves vomiting all your dirty crap on the already way overburdened spouse/partner!
Also, when others come along, they (and I) will advise AlAnon or NarAnon for some face to face support and advice.
Oh, and it can be quiet on here at weekends, so be patient. People sometimes just read over posts and think about them or sympathize and say a prayer for you. You have been "heard".
Hang in there, and IGNORE him. They call it "quacking".
