Hi Bridge, I just had an idea. When H was stirring my guts constantly with his game playing..... I told him I would not speak to him until he had completely read "Controlling People". He read it in two days, & then when I stopped him from trying to manipulate me, he began to see his own actions.
Has your H read that one ? Could you ask him in front of C to read it before you will talk R with him ?
Hugs sweetie, you're in a tough spot, you're patience must be about frazzled by now, even trying to get him to respect your wishes, & not "talk" on the phone. Sheesh. He's like a big bully in the sandbox wanting his own way. Why won't he get it ??? Every time he tries to "win" by using D's phone or something, he's just not hearing you AGAIN !!!
M 19 years, MC for 8 months, DB'd for 8 months 4 kids; 18, 15, 14, & 10 I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
