[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. Not sure how to tell you to hang up the phone but I do suggest you keep calling once a week. My main suggestion is that you supplement with cards. Get a variety box with a roll of stamps. Send two to three cards a month. Have grandkids if any send a picture or card once a month. [/quote] That's a really nice suggestion.[/quote] I would only reinforce if she starts treating you with dignity. if she continues to behave the way she does, sending cards tells her it works and she should continue and if she wants more attention she should get really obnoxious.[/quote] Maybe the point isn't to break her. Maybe the point is to make things better. For both of them.[/quote]
