I am glad that you recognize your emotions go into a tailspin when you have expectations based on things he's said. Just like we've said don't believe what he says if he says bad things about the M the same has to be said about the good. Work on day by day focusing on you and not bring angry because your expectations didn't happen. I had to take it one day at a time until I realised I hadn't acted psycho for a week then a month haha
