I tried NC as the kids aren't with me this weekend but he still keeps calling. He "needed" my advice about work. But he already knew what to do and I just affirmed his decision. No advice given.
I need to be here for the friendly chats and try not to take the bad stuff personally. He's ill, mentally ill. Me getting hurt won't help that.
I agree w/ job that you are handling your interactions quite well.
However, you don't always need to take his calls. If you need NC to protect yourself or if you need a break emotionally then I suggest doing so.
Not to be punitive or to manipulate your H in any way.
It took me a long time but I eventually got to a point where I was making decisions based on my needs.
Not to induce or avoid any reaction from my WAW but regardless of any reaction.
