[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 321616, member: 1157"] Thought I replied to this last night, but it didn't stick. I think the only thing to do is "practice." I don't have to answer each time she calls. I can hang up the phone when the abusive language starts. I think keeping those words, as painful as they are, in my head will also help, for the short-term, at least, when similar situations come up. Right now, she is being overly nice to me. Part of me feels like I'm simply waiting for the "next time," and that hoovers. I feel like I need to be ready when it comes, and that's putting me on edge, not wanting to be blindsided ... must get past that. I made an appointment with an old therapist, who knows both me and Youngest from back in Youngest's high school crisis days. Told her I needed a "tune-up," and she was happy to oblige. [/QUOTE]
