[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 539433, member: 1157"] I used to keep a journal of every harrassing phone call and in-person confrontation I had with my kids' dad (and there were a LOT). Kept a spiral notebook by the phone (this was before cell phones). Documentation is part of CYA and you can show it to a judge if things get ugly again. He's pushing your buttons, it's a control thing. Stay calm, and don't play into it. Ignore him as much as you can, and disengage from such conversations quickly. When my ex used to start cussing me out over the phone, I'd calmly say, "ok, I'm hanging up, now, goodbye" and hang up on him mid-sentence. It took lots of practice, but eventually, the button-pushing worked less and less on me. I knew he was just full of hot air (and much more). They're socks, for goodness sakes. Yeah, CPS would laugh.
