[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 702816, member: 13542"] SS, it's good to "see" you. I've wondered how you and your husband are doing. I'm sorry SS, those phone calls bring it all back home, don't they? When they are off our radar, we can relax for a bit, no news is good news, right? Then the dreaded phone call comes in, with the dreaded new emergency, with the dreaded demands, the dreaded manipulations.........all to make us feel fear so that we will once again step in and help. His script is the same........but your response is perfect.......don't engage......well done. I was struck by your son's timing.......his grandparents have stopped giving him money, you found out about that on Friday and by Sunday, he's messaging you with the new 911. I imagine him having a list of phone numbers in his phone where he texts "need to talk, 911," to everyone on the list and then waits until someone responds the way he wants. Sigh. You're right, what a difficult way to live. Hang in there SS, continue blocking the number........and go enjoy your Monday with your husband...... [/QUOTE]
