Eagle3, I don't have enough experience with MLCs to say whether your answer was ideal strategically, but I love the strength and compassion in your response. You are clear you have a good life you're not willing to give up, that you're not willing to jump at a chance at R, but aren't taken or about to be taken and are willing to offer him the guest room and positive support. You've given him a likely path back without making it too easy or too hard. I also love that you had no expectations and took his flip-flopping in stride.
