[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot control their rage or their responses. Your first order of business is dropping this line of thinking.

As a PP said, elicit support from the attorney and financial advisor with the “I can only meet with the person who has POA.”

I would also just stay as low contact as possible. You’re under no obligation to speak to them. Let all calls go to voicemail. If you absolutely must respond, give as much space as possible such as 48 hours. Keep answers as vague as possible. You do not need to announce when you’re meeting with a financial advisor. It’s okay to be flakey and forgetful. And it’s okay to appear rude when, in fact, you’re simply setting boundaries: “So I’m going to end this call right now.” Then hang up.

Thank you so much for saying my first order of business is to drop this line of thinking. I really needed to hear that!

I have issues with appearing flakey, and I will work on this. Time to be flakey as I can be. After all, they are that way. Why shouldn't I return the same?

I have blocked them on my phone and all social media platforms possible, so that part is taken care of. Before this, they would call and then, if I answered, go on for hours in a work day while telling me they have so much work to do...This is what my mother used to do, too. Two peas in a pod, really.

They can email me, and I can email them. That's it.
