[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 754437, member: 23405"] Thank you all for your support and encouragement. That voicemail has affected my entire day. Trying to concentrate at work when my mind keeps replaying the venomous voicemail was difficult. I needed to park my pain here and gather strength. I think it will take me awhile to stop spiraling. I do have a therapist who is on holiday and Al anon, my belief in God and those are the things I will use to pull myself up. I’m just dumbfounded that he can be so volatile, hurtful and disrespectful and somehow think that I will be handing out cash. I know that he’s had plenty of practice at this where I did give in. My therapist told me his behavior is like the pellet and pigeon analysis by “Skinner”. A pigeon is put in a box with a pellet container. With each peck a pellet came down. Every 3rd peck it didn’t. The pigeon continues to peck to see if a pellet will release. My son has had plenty of times in the past that he pecked at me and a pellet came down in the form of money. I can only thank God I’m stronger now. A long way to go but I’ve made progress. [/QUOTE]
