It's going to be tricky and emotionally charged inside you today. If you can do just one thing today it's to 'act as if'. No R talk. Just kindness, perhaps even say. "Look I know this is a little difficult for you being back etc, I just want to let you know I get it, now before we go on, I don't want to get into R talk, it will be counter productive now but what I do want to say is I will give you all the respect I can right now as I am sure you will too". The. Give him a hug and see what happens.
Just thoughts. Might not be your choice. But whatever you do, remember acting as if will help you follow your direction of choice - positive self talk. Your feelings if followed most likely will bring negative self talk and a negative direction in your R.
I know I am stating the obvious here, given your circumstances and qualifications. I just want to reassure if at possible. As I know this will be tricky.
Keep to the path today. You can do it.
