I would block all private calls but I have many government agencies i deal with that have private numbers. So i have no choice to answer. I am known for answering fast, i wouldn't want to start sending them all to voice mail. Would a quick can't talk then hang up on her be ok? Not letting her get a word in.
I think that would be fine. Job's suggestion is a good one, to get off the phone after saying something along the lines of "i'm sorry you feel that way"
or you could say, "Sorry, now's not a good time. Take care." and hang up. Being polite and kind but firm is always a good strategy I think. I would think that the last thing you want to do is something that would make you feel worse, or give any ammunition to be told you're being hurtful and rude.

as for the drop and run ... i will think of her as a snake and do just that.
hopefully you won't have to do this for the long haul, just for now.

She knows that I won't help her with the girls , that is why i think she is playing me. Knowing I never got closure.
maybe. or it could be something else. i read recently that our mind reading only makes us crazy, so ... you know what to do.

In reality there is nothing to close. It is what it is and I need to get back on track.
you will. i have faith in you!
hope the parent conferences went well!

thank you all for your support. I would say I won't let you all down but in reality i can't let myself down again.
I don't think you let anyone down, Irish. I prefer to think of these things as learning experiences. If it develops into a pattern that's something else. But you know I've noticed that you never make the same mistake twice, so that's why I think it's a learning experience for you and by sharing, for us also.

I did sleep very well none the less. i won't worry about her next message. I need to worry about what I have to wear at an insurance foundation this Friday. Wine and cheese. so looking forward to it.
Good for you to not have this disrupt your sleep! Sleep is still somewhat elusive at times for me. Hmmm .... How formal do these things get? What about a nice light sweater - cashmere comes to mind - and a blazer?
Hugs back my friend! You're doing great xoxoxo
