[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t have to answer the phone every time she calls. When my dd with anxiety texts and I know it’s a situation she can handle I DONT ANSWER. I wait. She handles it. And later we check in. She’s grown so much and I know it’s because we have given her space to handle big problems on her own. Tell your dd your work schedule has changed and you can’t talk during the day. Schedule time at night for her to unload and you put your AirPods in and fold laundry or do the dishes or walk the dog or whatever productive thing you can do while she’s talking. Just listen. Make sympathetic noises. Don’t give advice unless she asks. Remind her that you love her and she can handle difficult situations.[/quote] +1. Don't answer right away. You may have to train yourself not to pick up the phone. [/quote]
