I "reconnected" with my XAH a couple of years ago trying to present a united front for our addicted son. Started out ok but within two months it turned into serial texts from XAH regurgitating our divorce and marriage (from 30 years ago!!!) spewing a lifetime of his venom and resentment. It was sad and very very sick. My phone sounded like a winning slot machine from all the dinging from these serial texts. I'd had the same cell number for a very long time (10+ years). It ticked me off but I changed the number after three days of that nonsense. Problem solved. If a winner has to be declared.....I won......because I had peace. I controlled what was within my power to control.
Yes. It's a pain in the butt to change a number that you've had for a long time but doing so makes it impossible for her to contact you ever ever ever again.

You're right, of course. I can't argue with any of this.
