[quote=Anonymous]I let all of her calls go to message. I text my dad maybe 4 times a week and we talk when there's lots to update or it's easier then texting, like when making plans. My mom used to call 4-5 times a day, and both my house and my cell each time. Never anything urgent or important,  just passive aggressive narcissism. Not answering and not responding is necessary as direct requests to not call did not work.

Anything I share with her (foolishly I try a few times a year) gets made into something about her and she is the most unsupportive supportive person I have ever met (her support just creates more grief, stress and heartache or is racist, sexist, shaming, extremely religious, etc.)

Do what is best for you and your family. Sometimes the cost is too high.  My sibling is the good one, he calls my parents all the time, shares everything with them. My mom gets upset I don't share all kid details with her, like acts aghast when she sees kid with glasses that she didn't know about. It is really hard.

You could try to see if there's a different balance that you can manage that keeps her off your back, but what you're doing already sounds like a lot to me. I dont think you could make her happy and keep your boundaries so try to make your boundaries stronger. Like very explicitly telling her weekends are phone time and that's it.[/quote]
