Hi my friends! Long time no speak

I still have PA issues with mum - but it's getting better! I phoned them on Christmas and New Year, and kept the conversations short (as one does when talking to pA- toxic people!)
I thought that we could have a longer conversation tonight, but when my mum answered the phone, I could hear that things would not go well. I said hi, and asked how things were.... she was horrid.
I said "do you want to talk, or do you want to fight?" She said :"I want to fight!!!!". That's when the cat caught alight and the conversation had to stop.
Thank you, E-Hell! It was easy to end the conversation. No hang-ups. No yelling! Just:" I have to go, bye!"
We might talk again in June. We'll see :-)
Shiny happy spines!
update:
My mum sent me a blank text tonight. Against my better judgement I called her - only to have her *proxy*, mean, husband :-) tell me :your mother does NOT want to speak with YOU!!!!
All's good. I said : "Oh, ok. That's not a problem. Have a good day!"
My late mum is now blocked on FB, mail accounts, mobile apps and Skype. I became an orphan tonight, and dang, it feels GOOD. I will need help and advice to maintain the cut direct, but I feel so good after issuing it. It's about 10 years overdue.
