((Anna)) That's good that you are setting boundaries with your Dad. I just recently set some boundaries for myself with my daughter. Actually, Grateful helped me with that, because she had the same issues as me with her daughter. I had to tell my daughter not to phone so much, she goes through times when she phones almost everyday and tells me all her problems. Also starts saying things to try and make me feel guilty,so its seems. She would get angry with me and we would end up arguing, then one of us would hang up. It would totally through me off kilter and I would feel upset and anxious for a day or so. So I refuse to talk to her now if she is going to be angry or disrespectful...I told her I can't handle that anymore and I need to take care of myself...and if she tells me I'm not there for her, I refuse to let her manipulate me into feeling guilty...I know that I will have to deal with this again, but as long as I stick to my boundaries I should be okay..
