[quote=Anonymous]Set a timer for when you’re doing a regular part of your day - like commute, kids are in an activity etc. Call then and there’s an end time when you are done your activity. He may not talk with everyone each day and he has to deal with that. So, try to call each day. But don’t apologize when you can’t or get guilt tripped - just “oh, yeah, last night was so hectic! We will call you soon.). And at the same time, talk to him about what his days look like now. There are so many activities and groups for older folks. They can really have a rich social life, which also means he won’t be as dependent on you. [/quote]
