My sister has gone back to her alcoholic abusive partner

I wanted to ask if anyone knows or has experience of someone actually pulling themselves together to become a better person, not just alcohol free but fix their abusive behaviour?
I housed my sister and young neices the other week as my sisters partner, not the father of kids, lost the plot at her after bingeing for 4 days, my neices, 9 and 5 were in tears as they heard it all. She after 2 weeks has decided to go back to him with him promising counselling, addiction counselling, no drinking and going to church. He is abusive even when sober but never violent but I'm still worried for my neices to grow up in this environment.
Does anyone know of anyone where it worked out for the best and someone did change and how do I deal with this, I haven't replied to her since she told me she was going back as I'm so mad with her.
TIA
