Great news...but I hate to sound like a Debbie Downer...but it's only been a month...he's got to prove himself and stay on the path of recovery for at least 12-18 months. He definitely has to earn your trust and respect back. After all, he really did a number of you and the girls and hasn't been there for them for a very long time and now since he's seen you are succeeding and are happy, he wants part of that action. Heather, I know you are a smart lady...but be cautious when it comes to him. As the old saying goes "the proof is in the pudding".
Keep the focus on you and your girls. He's got his own journey to complete...
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
