[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 597083, member: 1157"] Projection -- classic difficult child tactic! They project their own behaviors onto you so they can shift blame. I wouldn't bother with a follow-up text next time, just quietly say, "OK well I'm ending this call, call me back when you can speak respectfully" and hang up. You don't even have to define it for him again. It's good that he didn't call you, I call that progress -- he's following your wishes, after all! Al-anon is great. [/QUOTE]
