[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 392425, member: 4264"] Thanks Hound! I do all of those things. I just can't get to a point that each time it doesn't bother me to do the pick up/hang up thing. I was just ignoring calls I didn't know but then she was flooding my answering machine with messages that made me sick having to hear in order to clear them off. So I pick up and hang up. Or the times i answered a new number and it was her from a friends etc, I do just as you said and hang up the second I hear her voice. She still persists. She goes long enough that I start thinking she gets that I'm done and no point in calling. Then she'll start up again. The stupid thing is, it's predictable. Today there's news all over about tension in the Korean Peninsula. She's a news junkie and with her BiPolar (BP), it manifests in obsession with news and religion and weather. When a big storm is coming or some big world event is happening or might happen, she goes very manic and can watch t.v. news for 2 days at a time without sleep. I bet my boots she keeps calling back anyhow, until it becomes obvious to her that war is not going to break out between the Korea's. For today, I've asked my S/O to keep the phone with him and just hit talk and then end if she calls, and to just not bother telling me about it. I need to shake this sick feeling and improve my mood. I refuse to let her steal the joy Jessica (easy child) and I get from decorating. Its tradition for her and I to spend a day decking out the house. If we get done early enough, we'll probably bake sugar free shortbread cookies and sugar free hot chocolate and play board games with candles everywhere and the tree lights on. These are the memories I want for my kids. Not this sick twisted game my mother plays. She gets so much worse during the holidays. It'll be nonsense non stop until January. [/QUOTE]
