Tad man, do you have caller ID? Do you have voice mail?

Don't subject yourself to further torture!

It sounds like she's still processing her actions and trying to validate her choices. Let her do that without the benefit of your ear.

I'd like to know, why do you answer her calls? Your children are all grown. Is there some other reason anything she'd have to tell you would be so urgent that you couldn't wait for voice mail?

Or are you answering just to stay connected to her?
