Turn around.
I can't believe it, the night before I was due to leave, Bf said sorry for everything, he has'nt said that before, he promised to punish sd when she was naughty and stop babying her, we've had so many arguments about sd and her behavior, he wanted me to be Mummy when it suited him, but then when sd was badly behaved he would become over protective and shout at me, the thing is he has never said sorry before, we talked everything through and decided to start with a clean slate for everyone, so I was right I had to threaten to leave before he actually got it, so here we are 5 days later and everything is better, we survived 2 visits from sd, we worked a team which is what I always wanted, Im not going to let things slip, I won't back down either.

Threats don't work. You
Threats don't work.
You just taught him that what you say doesn't matter because you won't follow through.
Things are great now, but he will go back to his comfort zone. The next time you say you're going to leave, he'll ignore you or say what it takes to get you to stay. He'll do what you want then go back to his old ways. Wash, rinse and repeat.
I don't think he will, he was
I don't think he will, he was in tears, I know the sort of person you are talking about though, they tell you what you want to hear and then slip back into the same habits, if he does slip, I will leave him simple as that, we shall see.
Good advice, I don't expect
Good advice, I don't expect things to be perfect and I realise his behaviour could worsen again, but I've heard enough to stay for now.
