[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 620001, member: 7170"] I agree with the others that the best way to deal with a control freek is to take their control away. Ignore or block text messages & emails, screen calls, either mark snail mail return to sender or pile it in a box and send it all back to him on father's day unopened. For when he shows up on doorstep I would have a sign to put in window that reads: NOT BY THE HAIR OF MY CHINNY CHIN CHIN WILL I OPEN THE DOOR SO YOU CAN COME IN SO HUFF AND PUFF TILL YOUR BLUE IN THE FACE THIS IS MY HOME NOT YOUR PLACE! No peeking out the window, if neighbor calls to say he's down on the porch call an ambulance but don't go out. Parents or not I would cut all contact with them. I reward behavior I like and ignore behavior I don't; therefore people who do nothing but aggravate me I don't bless them with a single moment of my time or attention. Even negative reinforcement (yelling back at them) is reinforcement and they aren't worth wasting my energy. Nancy [/QUOTE]
