Well, he's not being a complete idiot (though he's still an idiot)

"I’m continuing to work at trying to open up to both you and kids and I expect that you will do the same, sure I don’t always want to hear the truth, but I realize that to ignore it is unhealthy and just doesn’t work. For me, I believe this is progress in terms of my own personal growth and I hope it will help us as we move forward."

That's a big step for him. It's a 180 for him and hopefully, for my kids' sake, it will stop that pattern that he got from his mother. Even if it's too late for our marriage, it can be good for the kids.
