My husband has been mentally abusive since our first year of marriage. We have one child, I have left him and am living at home. He has a problem with infidelity. Now he says he wants to spend more time with me and our son. I am starting to get the feeling he wants to be a family again. Can a person change without professional help, or is this his way of getting us back only to start the same thing over again? During our separation, I got pregnant, he wanted no part of our baby so I had an abortion, much against my feelings and religion. He didn't want to pay the court child support, so I feel he has an alterior motive going on in his head. I still love him and miss. Help!
