Its at this point i just want someone to say to him something like
'well you could also stop wallowing in your self inflicted misery and start trying to make things right again'

Not sure i'm being particularly constructive but your H divorced you and he needs to both understand what that means and take some responsibility rather than still acting the victim. Probably best you listen to Sotto rather than me.
although as I typed I remember a thread by Job that I read a little while back which I think might be useful in your circumstance. Here's the link, so when you get a chance take a look.
