Good for you changing the phone number.

Its been my experience that when I hear something that really really ticks me off like this did to you, it's because I am resisting moving where I need to go. I have found that my biggest steps toward better mental health were accompanied by initial anger/resentment/resistence to the very thing I needed to do.
Yes, it does indeed hurt. But pain is a signal that something is wrong.
