[quote=Anonymous][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] This is classic grey rock. You just give almost nothing and no reaction and don't provide personal details about yourself or your family. OP, you could try this and see how it works and then decide whether you need to just have the boundary of going low contact.[/quote]
