[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 703661, member: 17269"] You might try writing down a list of possible responses and posting it by the front door (in case she comes over) and the phone (in case she calls). "now is not a good time." "lets meet at the coffee shop on Thursday" "no" "sorry" "not today" "no" "thats too bad. I can't do it right now" "if you keep yelling I will have to call the police" "you need to leave now" "I'm leaving now" It helps me to remember that my job is not to get them to agree, or to see it my way. That is very very unlikely to happen. My job is only to stand my ground. That is your job too. You can't control her behavior. You can only control your own. Echo (the bad buddhist) [/QUOTE]
