Hi DS, recovered A here. It sounds like you ABF is only just starting on his recovery journey. Admittedly his brain will be scrambled right now because it takes time for it to get back to normal.
If you stop and think calmly you can see he's got everything back the front. He should be asking your forgiveness but he's at a stage where he needs to blame everyone but himself.
Hold on to the thought that if you hadn't kicked him out he'd almost certainly not have seriously tried to get sober. You have to protect your children no matter how much he sees that from a selfish POV.
You are still a strong successful woman, albeit one who has been under enormous strain. Let him continue on his journey, while you concentrate on yourself and the children. Enjoy the freedom from the daily stress of living with him and try to do some fun things with the children.
You might want to read some of the posts from posters checking in after a period away from their A, on how much their lives have improved.
