Good stuff, traveldane. You too are getting mojofied! I recently read a plaque in an office with words to the effect that you can slay someone with kindness,forgiveness, smiles,grace and prayer. I think it was called the Best Revenge or something like that. And so your "high road" approach of letting go of the possession you were in a power struggle over will disarm him. More importantly things like this help to free you and are on a larger scale symbolic of your letting go right now.
You are a very strong lady and if I were there I would shake your hand.
