Hope you are getting some sleep too. I like working late at night, but found out that sometimes its better to sleep well and have a clear mind in the early hours.
V, the way I see it is that if you want to stand for your M then it's a road called patience. Your H should be very lost right now. That's what happen to abusive people. They are strong in their twisted mind because they have someone that will allow them to continue the abusive way.
But V said enough to him, moved away from him and this is probably driving him crazy.
First reaction is to attack, but soon enough you will see a H that is all regretful and with lots of self pity.
Hope the business side gets in some shape that V will be able to breath again and have the free time to enjoy life. V needs some rest soon. You have a long journey ahead of you V.
You are an amazing person for all you have been doing for yourself, you should always be very proud that even with lots of fear, you could stand for yourself and your whole life.
