[QUOTE="Lil, post: 740869, member: 17309"] Oh SWOT, I'm so sorry it's come to this. But maybe it's time? Maybe he will finally learn that he has to show a little respect? This kind of thing is just nonsense! If you tell someone they have a terrible connection or the signal is bad and they're breaking up - [U]they're supposed to go to a new spot and try again[/U]! I mean honestly! What on earth can you do if you can't hear? It's not YOUR fault he has a crappy signal! (And now I'm going to tell you a secret trick a lot of our hearing officer's have used when people are being disruptive and you need to get control of a hearing. The best thing about cell phones is that they drop signals. And if the signal is bad and there's lots of static, they drop them more. The trick is making a person think it's the signal and NOT you hanging up. Hang up while YOU are talking, in the middle of a word...LOL - They'll never think you hung up while you are the one talking! Then you all get a few minutes to calm down. :p ) Garbage? Asking to be treated respectfully and not be sworn and screamed at is garbage? Hun, I know that had to be awfully hard for you, but you have done the right thing. You're right. This is abuse. Verbal abuse is still abuse and you are right to no longer tolerate it from anyone, especially your own son who should treat you respectfully! You were much kinder than I would have been. When our son was troubled we got in the habit of putting our phones on the kitchen counter at night when we went to bed. That way we wouldn't hear them in the middle of the night. It seemed really terrible to some of the people we told...what about emergencies? We said if it was a REAL emergency, he needed to call cops or fire dept. or ambulance - not us. If something terrible happened, well, we couldn't DO anything and if something terrible happened to him, we'd be informed by an officer ringing the doorbell. It was the only way we could get peace. Bart won't block you forever. You left the door open after all and truthfully, who else will put up with him? He'll call and hopefully be a better person for this. I hope that you do.
