His denial still hurts

I’ve posted here before about my ex and I splitting due to his drinking and anger issues. I have tried to keep things amicable between us so he still sees the kids relatively regularly. I know he still drinks but he makes out that I am the one overreacting about this because I don’t drink. To put it in context, he wanted to come over for the weekend but was drunk so I said not to. He says that was my perception and he wasn’t drunk. I hate confrontation because I guess I’m still scared of his behaviour but I was adamant that I didn’t want him around.

I’m sure he is telling people that I was a teetotal person and overreacting and it hurts me. It’s never his fault even though he was abusive a number of times, found so many empty bottles at home and he has gotten into several public situations as a result of alcohol (which I’m not meant to know about).

I guess I’m feel angry and upset as it’s all him but in his eyes, it’s everyone else.
