[quote=Anonymous]You def need to keep things light with her. What is the subject of the weekly calls? My mom always wanted to be so intense with what she talked about: controversial social issues, politics, major health problems (real or imagined). It was too much. Now I call 2-3 times a month, let her vent about what she wants but don't react or ask any follow-up questions, and this has helped a lot. After about 10 or 15 minutes, she gets bored with me and says she has to go. I can tell she is frustrated and wants more contact, but this is what I can handle for my own sanity. Could this work for you?[/quote]
