Title: Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in
Post by: Gift to myself on December 17, 2016, 10:32:32 PM
It's been a LONG time since I was here (why did I ever leave?)

Well, this last time I didn't hear from him for 16 weeks (that's 4 months of silent treatment).  I loved detaching and feeling like I had weight off my shoulders.  Then 2 days after Thanksgiving, he called and left me a phone message.  I didn't return call, and then the following Thursday I saw his info on callerID at work and made the mistake of taking his call.  Of course, he acted like nothing happened. We've been in contact ever since, and I am back to being his dumping ground for all his problems.

I can't find my intro post (forgot how this site works).  Just want to say HI to everyone and come to a safe place where we all understand.

Hi gifttomyself

If you have caller ID on your personal and work lines--remember the choice to pick up or not is up to you. If you have a phone system, call your workplace's technical staff to find out how to silence specific calls if they come in. Setting up a number block won't be much use as he may react by calling your company's main line. I hope that helps.  :)
