2020...…..remember that he knows all of your hot buttons....he knows what you want to hear and what will make you "crumble". He knows your vulnerabilities well.....and you can expect him to try them, again.
He knows what works...so, why not try it again?
Just expect him to push every hot button, several times.....
If your being there had kept him from drinking....there wouldn't be a problem.
But, your being there didn't keep him from drinking...and, it won't if you were to go back again, either. It is not about you...it is about what is inside of him....
Sure, he might want you back...for his own benefit...not because he is so interested in your best welfare....
Like others have said....believe him when he says that this is who he is and he won't get any help......He is telling you the truth.
