[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 676002, member: 18958"] I have set very strong limits with my son on the phone. Finally. I will not listen to him go on and on complaining. I will not listen to conspiracy theories. I will terminate the call with disrespect. I tell him the rules and I tell him why: I will not listen to his distress that he chooses to do nothing about. It hurts me that he suffers unnecessarily. I will not listen to him frighten himself about things he cannot control and are probably not true. At first he got mad. Now he is listening intently. He is appropriate. He asks for my advise. He does not as much tell me stuff that will worry me. The calls are going better. But I am still afraid when the phone rings. I always worry that something has happened. I do not know why. COPA [/QUOTE]
