[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 600287, member: 13561"] Thank you so much for the beautiful words! I will read them many times to give myself strength. Was I too extreme in changing my number? I just felt that in the last couple of days I was dreading any phone calls in case they were him. I would turn my phone off or ignore his calls, which honestly would give me a pain in my heart. I can't bear to think that he is scared and lonely and needs to vent. But that's the part of my brain that continues to see him as a 12 year old... He's actually very manipulative, a chameleon, who is capable of making extremely adult (and dangerous) choices and decisions when he wants to. THAT'S the person that I need to remember. But denying him access to me feels wrong. The mother heart and all that. How many others have changed numbers or just refuse to answer the phone when difficult children call? Does it really get easier? [/QUOTE]
