I'm glad there has been some improvements in his behavior to the kids. It's a small blessing & it doesn't mean he's really changed in his core. But I hope it makes daily life a little more tolerable.
He is still an asshole. But a better behaved asshole is still better than a flaming hothead asshole.
Take care of yourself Rose - such a hard situation you have.

This is EXACTLY it. You have summed it up much better than I could.

At his base, he's till the same. But hes a little bit nicer. We're still not close. We still haven't held hands in years, etc etc but it is better than it was before.
