It doesn't sound as if he's working on recovery. It sounds as if he's still doing what he does best and then he's blaming you (as others said here) so he takes the focus off of himself, who he can't face yet. He's a sick person who doesn't sound as if he is working on getting well. Compassion with detachment, but not too much compassion.

Stay strong, we support you here. Counseling or even self-help books help. Al Anon may help you to see your own patterns of behavior so you don't choose a similar man in a different body. (I've done that)

Years ago I read Men Who Hate Women And The Women Who Love Them. That was an eye-opener!

Codependent No More is good.

Take care of you, it really doesn't matter what he thinks at this point. Keep conversations about the child and talk with your child a lot. Make sure the child is in a good place so she can grow into a healthy young woman.
