I think you just listen. I think you remain quiet, validate what he is saying but don't say anything committal in return. He could call you back and say he has changed his mind - again. I think you can only rely on what you SEE him doing, not on what you HEAR him saying. He has proven over and over that he says one thing and does another. This is the difficult part, he is saying exactly what you WANT to hear right now, but who knows if it's truly how he feels? He may even truly feel this right now, but in an hour, a day, 2 days?? Where will he be then? Just listen. If he asks what you think just say you think your kids would benefit greatly from healthy parents, that you are looking to get healthy and stay healthy, and that you are and will continue to take this one day at a time....hope that helps.
