[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 663749, member: 1550"] I would keep your conversations to "yes" and "no." If something comes up and you get phonecalls that you don't want to handle anymore tell THEM, "please take me off the contact list and contact my son." He probably thought you said that about his liver contact just to tick him off. It doesn't take much. You don't have to tell him to do anything because he won't do what you ask anyway. Best to just refuse the information from the professionals if you are called and let him handle his own medical problems himself. He certainly is not listening to you. Hugs and hoping you have a peaceful trip with son. Try something new: radio silence. Don't talk, don't respond to him when he talks except to say "yes" or "no" or "I'd rather not discuss that now." If he follows up just click your tongue or say "Uh huh" or be non-commital. Do not show anger because that gives him power and he will amp up the abuse. Silence is golden and it does work. [/QUOTE]
