RL, You will know when you've had enough...but I do not thing you are done yet. The holidays tend to bring us down and maybe that's what is going on now. I'm sorry he's still acting out like a 2 yr old having a temper tantrum. I know it's difficult, but you've got to ignore him.
I'm glad to read that you are taking great pleasure in playing the flute. It is a beautiful instrument and the sound is very pleasant and soothing to the soul.
I like the old hymn that you posted for the DBers. It's very fitting.
Are you planning to host Thanksgiving dinner or will you be going somewhere as a guest? Either way, do not allow that angry Scrooge get you down. You have so much to be thankful for and the beauty of it all...we are very much alive and can find many things to smile about, in spite of what they throw at us.
Take care and please...just leave him to his own company. Actually maybe a mirror would be helpful and that way he can look at the good person that is being reflected back to the opposite self these days.
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.
