Before you can make things better, you have to stop making them worse... Have you considered that being critical, judgmental, or invalidating toward the other parent, no matter what she or he just did will only make matters worse? Someone has to be do something. This means finding the motivation to stop making things worse, learning how to interrupt your own negative responses, body language, facial expressions, voice tone, and learning how to inhibit your urges to do things that you later realize are contributing to the tensions.

My uBPDexgf has been gone for many months now. Since late November we have had no communication with one another. HOWEVER, most every month except March, I have received a few Private Number hang up phone calls. When I answer whomever is calling hangs up. The last time this happened was in April on Good Friday and on the Tuesday after Easter. Since I had not received any hang ups in March I had concluded that whatever was compelling her to make these calls was over for her. Actually, I suspected that she had given up the hang up calls for Lent. Amazingly the next call I got from her was on Good Friday, so that kind of makes me think I was right about the Lent thing. I haven't had any hangup calls since. Until today.

Mother's Day is on Sunday, of course, and I always mailed her a card telling her how wonderful a mom she was. Actually, I sent her and her sons cards every holiday because I'm old school like that. I even sent them thanksgiving cards because that's just the way I am. It goes without saying that I would send thinking of you cards on occassion as well.

Today, much to my surprise I received an OUT OF AREA Private caller hang up call. And it really is a surprise. I had concluded that she was gone, gone, gone. Whomever she is latched on to is hooked good, in my mind. But for me to be getting a hangup call the week of these holidays makes me think the holidays seems to be a trigger for her. In my mind I am convinced she's gone baby gone. But a hang up call the week of Mother's Day from her, (most assuredly) seems just interesting to me.

I wonder if she is expecting me to contact her for the holiday. I haven't in the past. I wonder if she thinks it could be different this time, that her doing the hang up thing could trigger me to contact her. And frankly I have been thinking of contacting her. Not necessarily for Mother's Day, but just in general. It just strikes me as unusual that she called and hung up.

Before you say. I am 98% sure it's her. The entire 10 years we knew one another I never had a single hang up phone call. Never. And these calls arent to my cell phone, but my home phone. She and I usually talked on my home phone. Since she has been gone, I get them most every month. There is no way it's a telemarketer. No way.

If she's doing that for her job now, it could be both.

My ex is a therapist, not a telemarketer.
