TOH, You are slowly getting the hang of detaching and doing for yourself. I'm glad he got the corn for you and then had a good conversation.
Now, you will need to work on the TMs in the middle of the night. I know you want him to know that you know what he's doing, but you've got to stop all of this. What good does it do the situation? Nothing. Learn to accept that you cannot control him or his actions and that you must keep the focus on you and your family and yes, your crafts.
Do not mention the TM if he comes around. Follow his lead and please, please try not to take his bait and go down the ugly path of negativity. Count to ten and leave the room if the conversation is going sour.
I know you can do this. Start the new year out fresh w/a different outlook on how to communicate w/him.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
