[quote=Anonymous] You get off the phone. Don't answer the phone when you've got eons of time, pick up when you know you've only 15 minutes. Call them back when you've got only 15 minutes. This is why I can call my mother several times a week with ease, but can only stand to see her in person once a year - because she's very negative and doesn't know when to stop! My father, through decades of living with her, thinks negatively too, but is much more rational, so I can handle him. My mother can be cruel and is always irrational and highly emotional. There is just no arguing with her, unless you want to reduce her to a screaming heap of victimhood. So limit contact, OP. It's all you can do. [/quote]
