I spoke with my sister. She said that he doesn't have anyone else to talk to who has any insight into how I am feeling or how I am doing and he doesn't want to talk to me about it.
Tough darts. That's crappy, passive-aggressive behavior. He doesn't have any right to drag your family or friends into this.
And I say this as someone who tried pressing my wife's friends for insight early on, until my wife busted me for doing it. She said "If you want to know what is going on with me, ask me."

Then why is he talking to her if he knows all of this?

This isn't that bad; it's a great opportunity to set a boundary for your sister (or any other family or friends that talk to him):
"I was sharing my feelings and thoughts about what I'm going through with you because I believed you'd respect my privacy. Since you have chosen not to, I'll find someone else to talk to."

Or find new people to discuss this with.
With counselors, doctors, and religious leaders there is usually an implicit (or legal, in the case of doctors and counselors) understanding that anything you tell them is to be held in strict confidence.
And of course, we won't tell.
