I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with this. I know that I had such a hard time with finding the right time to approach my ABF with important discussions, and then reigning myself in when he would try to goad me into an argument. I had to finally realize that the world I live in was completely different than the one he resides in, so our "realities" will never quite mesh up.
I'm glad you were able to do things for yourself, and hope that work goes well for you tomorrow, even with the daylight saving time in the morning.
