peace, I think his reaction may come later. If God leads you so, keep being kind and appreciative to him. Even if you don't see a positive response, I believe it affects him inside. He may not show it now. I think he does notice it, and will remember your kindness, etc. in the days, weeks, months afterwards. Doesn't The Prodigal's Perspective mention this? I remember reading this somewhere but don't remember the source now.

peace- It has to be so hard on you to continually watch your mother go through this...on top of everything else.
I am glad you are finding ways to help with the stress. I bet your yoga and meditating really come in handy right now.
I know with everything else going on that would be hard to have any energy to deal with your H but be careful...you need to do what you need to do for you but if you can, try not to shut your H out completely if he is showing any positive signs...but more than anything else, take care of yourself.
I will say a prayer for your mom. Please keep us posted on how she is doing.
