I want my ex of 9 years to take me back

I tried to break up with my boyfriend, a month ago. My reason was I couldn't stand his Anger issue. I love him very much. I didn't want to break up with him. I've known him for 3 years. But I couldn't picture my life happy with someone who couldn't control their anger. I was afraid, of having a family with him, children, a future. So I told him I couldn't be with him because of that.

He thought about it, and that night, he came over, and told me he was going to get help for it. He said he would go to anger management classes, or see a psychiatrist. I didn't believe him. So he made phone calls, and set an appointment with mental health. He asked me to not give up on him. I love him, so I gave him that chance to prove to me he truly wanted to change. And that he was going to do something about it.

He is now seeing a shrink 3 times a week. And I am here, supporting him all the way.

He didn't do anything at the moment (the night we talked), but he promised me, and as soon as he got the chance, he set an appointment. It is a slow, very slow, process, but the fact that he did something small leading towards it, made me stay.
