Signs that an abuser has changed...or not article

Below is an article I found a few years ago that really helped me recognize that despite stbx's claims, he had not changed one bit. I post it from time to time and realized I should put the link here in case anyone would like to read it.

This was a good article, very thought through. And what I really needed to hear as difficult as it is for me to accept. Honestly, this clarified for me that my PD parents likely have not changed. And that I need to come to terms with that, as difficult as that may be. I have seen some of the things that would indicate genuine change, but some things I haven't really seen. Or haven't seen consistently. I'll say that the idea that I got somewhere isn't entirely out of my mind, but reading this article definitely affirmed what I suspected. Which is that it is the less likely possibility.

I'm glad the article was able to help you. It was a real eye opener for me.
It confirmed what I felt in my gut - that despite stbx's claims, he had not changed at all. I was heartbroken, but it was a needed wake-up call.
