I too, have dealt with an alcoholic. My advice would be to go the legal route. I am currently in the situation where he agreed to everything four months ago, and is now going back on his word. It is cheaper if everyone can agree with everything with the lawyers involved, but that doesn't often happen. Alcoholic's can be very good at smoothing things over with the professionals they have to deal with (let alone their spouses/kids). Again, just keep your strength and do what you need to do to protect yourself and your children. They (alcoholics) are truly delusional and irrational, and as you said, very good at convincing people what they need to hear in order to get what they want. Take care and hang in there...be strong!!
