There is no try- just do. Well that is true for me.... Mind- it took losing my family, home, life etc. BUT the point is without evidence- behavioural change and action- well I am getting that beach house before you. My gran used to say 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions' The number of times I would string along those I 'loved' (proved it so well) by saying 'I have looked up meetings and I will go tomorrow...' or 'I rang the doctor 3 times but....' (3 times would be letting it ring twice and hang up- 23 times). Stay safe and think to your future. You are not his mum. Empathy and support to you.
