Yours is a delicate situation with PTSD. You can only do so much regarding his counseling and mental health. Don't push him, it will only drive him away. His need for mental health treatment will be solely on himself.
As far as MLC is concerned, tears are manipulation and nothing else. Don't fall for it. Take it from someone who did an early reconciliation, make sure to protect yourself and keep a reasonable distance.
I saw similar behaviors...leaving phone around, allowing me in the restroom while she was bathing, sleeping in the same bed, etc....then BOOM right back into the tunnel without any warning.
A true awakening occurs after several months (or years) of consistent clear behaviors and reasoning.
