Should I answer his calls after he's incarcerated?

[QUOTE="Natsom, post: 662405, member: 19329"] Good idea. Maybe he'll be in a position that he will actually listen. Every time I've tried this approach in the past he would have a freak out. He would go into his manipulative "panic attack" mode. Start screaming and stuttering. Tell me what a horrible person and parent I am. Then start ranting about killing himself. (He's never even tried to kill himself as far as I know.) Sometimes when he gets in this mindset it almost seems like he's a demon. I know he would be acting on what has worked for him in the past. I take responsibility for that, but I'm not going to let him play me anymore. So, what I would have to do is hang up on him when he starts the rant. Ouch. [/QUOTE]
