Just a got a call from AH family. I soon learned that he was having a bad day. I think it was a vent of sorts. But, it's frustrating bc this is not my problem. I can't help it if he is having a bad day. Nor should I care. But now I'm all... well is he drinking? And it's my problem if he ever wants to see his kid again. Blah blah blah. Ugh and I was having a good day too!

I'm so sorry. I blocked my Estranged AH family from calling me. I don't want to hear it. How I'm on a power trip. I don't care about his day. Tell them that then block them. It was one of the best things I have done so far. If they enable him as it seems they do then let them deal with it. I'll admit I'm curious but this way at least I'm not involved. Go on with your good day and don't think about it again. It's not worth your time.

Hey... I'm having a bad day!!! Why hasn't anyone called you and told you how rotten my day has been? Huh? Why?! Why?!! WHY?!!!

Don't worry about him. He's a Biiiiiiiig Boy! This little stunt is called a guilt trip and it's usually a one way ticket to crazy town and you don't have to get the ticket punched.

Sounds like his family is getting tired of taking care of him and wants the babysitter back. Send them some Alanon literature. That's what I did with my ex's parents.

Too funny. Pretty much what earned me -- "I HATE YOUR DAMN ALANON!" from the MIL.

Must be doing something right.

Hahahaha. I got that from the SIL. "We don't believe in that alanon ***".

It's a pity you don't believe in that Al-Anon. I don't believe in caretaking for overgrown babies with alcohol problems.

I really love his family and will not be disrespectful to them in any way. And he is SUPPOSED to be sober? So I don't know. Nothing I can do anyway. Just kind of frustrated me because I can't do anything (even if I wanted to)
