[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 703830, member: 17269"] SWOT, I'm sorry that man is so frustrating to you. It is annoying to be used as a vent...sometimes my ex used to call me when he was on a long drive, because he was bored...it was so obvious that he was just using me to keep boredom at bay, I resented it. My son, from jail, keeps his calls short...he just wants to hear my voice, and always hangs up after 5 minutes, because he knows I don't like to just hang on the phone. If he doesn't want to hear what you have to say he needn't call. You are right to draw a line. And I definitely would not put up with "thats stupid". He is beating you down, and making you feel devalued. You are putting a stop to that, refusing to let anyone, even your son, make you feel worthless, like what you say is stupid or useless or not right. Good for you for seeing it. Good for you for stopping it. Spend your time and love and effort on the ones who value you. We value you here. Hugs to you, warrior woman. Echo [/QUOTE]
