[QUOTE="Suz, post: 66172, member: 29"] I remember those types of phone calls from Rob, Janet. They exhausted me and filled me with rage and righteous indignation. At some point I decided I'd had enough and changed my tactic. Then, when he would call filled with excuses and mayhem, I'd tell him to call back when he was calm, I would say good bye and hang up. Nicely. It took the repetition of making the statement and hanging up several times for Rob to finally get it- that I wasn't going to engage further. It made a big difference for both of us in the long run. Suz [/QUOTE]
