[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 66578, member: 179"] I'd say he's teaching himself a lesson...and failing miserably. I remember YEARS ago a therapist told us to say this when J ranted or blamed. "I understand your frustration. I hope you find a way to deal with it." When we would say that to him, he would rage because we wouldn't engage. I haven't followed your story too much lately (everyone has *something* going on), but from my too frequent prison/jail experiences, I would NOT take collect calls from him. They must have a small way of earning a dollar here or there. It's just whether he'll choose it to spend it on you. J was making about $1.25/day. Is that a lot? Heck no. But, if it was his intent to make us feel guilty, pay for his mistakes, and still be a jerk - I'm not playing anymore. We just blocked all collect calls. This inferiated him. It actually made him start to...(drumroll) write letters. [img]:surprise:[/img] He'd spend that meager amount of money on cigarettes. Please... I'll be interested in seeing what transpired.
