(((newimage))) so sorry about the phone call if you are ready to focus on taking care of yourself and your 16 yo daughter, not accepting future calls seems like a very reasonable plan. if that feels like too much all at once, setting some boundaries for the calls might be helpful. there was a recent thread about this specifically regarding phone calls and setting boundaries, and someone referred back to a thread called "empathetic script". both might be worth a search. it is totally reasonable to set a boundary that you will not not accept calls asking for money or that you will not accept calls where you are not treated with respect. if your daughter cannot respect your boundaries, it is reasonable to hang up. stay strong.
