This sounds exactly right to me. We obviously don't know all the dynamics involved, but this would be standard behavior for an addict - hate for the people trying to help, love for the people who enable continuation of the addiction. He might or might not come around to a clearer view of reality, but only if he stops drinking, and that will have to come from him - and it might never come, unfortunately all you can do is take care of yourself.
