I moved house at the end of August this year, I have got a landline phone number but I haven't given it to my mum....she does have my mobile phone number which she rings constantly, the record so far is 20 times a day.
I have 3 businesses plus work part time for 2 other jobs so I am incredibly busy and can't answer the phone to my mum all the time.
We have the same conversation over and over. She also gets very aggressive and accuses people of doing all sorts, usually stealing from her, the latest has been issues with her chequebook.
I was with her when she claimed it has been stolen but it wasn't stolen at all, it was where it usually is. As I found the chequebook then obviously to her mind, I am to blame as it is now "stolen" again. I have been away on business and have had to resort to blocking her number and then unblocking her number when I am less busy but she is still ringing away (it comes up on the TU go app I have)
I feel awful at doing this but I don't feel I have much choice.
I have suffered with depression this year due to my marriage breaking up and was prescribed anti depressants. I am now off medication & doing well off my meds but I am fearful that my mum may drag me back over the edge again and so I need to care about myself as well as her and somehow try to keep my sanity.
Can anyone advise what to do? You cannot reason with my mum. I have tried explaining to her that I am working throughout the day but she does not listen or doesn't want to understand and so keeps ringing me.
