Portia - I know exactly how you feel, if that doesn't sound presumptuous. And your exSO hasn't got over you. Why is he phoning?

They are fricking delusional, in their own little bubble, and it is sad if he is going to a therapist and leading her around by the nose. A good therapist will stop that game, but not all of them are good with borderline personality disorders (which most MLC behaviour effectively is). And if he has any elements of narcissism, these are the most difficult people to engage in therapy, as they will stay, and even charm the therapist, until the therapist starts to question them.

It is hard for you with your dad, and you have enough on your plate right now

I agree with you on needing true remorse (although I got a few 2 x 4s for saying that). And Nero has it bang to rights - no expectations except bad ones.

You most certainly are not, and it s good to see this. We need it tattooing somewhere (in reverse so we can see it in the mirror) Perhaps not on the forehead though!
