I don't know about your state but in our sate you can get free nicotine patches if you want to quit smoking. Tell him to call the health department to see if they are available.
You are doing GREAT Mamma!
Go back and re-read your post and you will see where he tries at every NO, to find a different way to get you to give in (by the way you owe him no excuses). Recognize it for the manipulations that is is. Also if things aren't going well between you two verbally trying texting - having the words in text, will give you additional time when you aren't stressed, to review and get a picture of how his mind works. It is amazing when you go to this kind of communication what your mind can see when it is written than how it is seen when the mind is trying to re-view it through memory. Also I would keep all my texts when we had gone through a turbulent time because it would educate me on what/how she was doing. It is hard to deny when it actually is, right there, in your face, in black and white.
