Back from my toxic break/removed Nada from contacts

[Guest guest]

I had so much new stuff come up over Thanksgiving that I decided to journal it

all instead of bringing all my anger here. Feeling calmer and more resolved now.

I continue to break free from all emotional attachments, hope, etc. involving my

parents. Talking with my DH, I decided to remove nada & fada's phone numbers

from my cell phone. I do not, under any circumstances, want either of them

contacted by emergency personnel in the event I am unable to speak for myself.

Mom has never made any sense in an emergency, and every time I have asked her to

carry out my simplest wishes she screws it up somehow to my detriment.

I now have a listing called " I.C.E " with a hyphen and my DH's name and contact

numbers. I was told emergency personnel are trained to look for ICE in cell

phone contacts (for In Case of Emergency).

My nada challenge of the day is to get my holiday cards in the mail--hers will

be wishing her an enjoyable holiday season (and that's all of the season I

intend to share with her).

good for you, Echo. I admire that you have taken care of these situations.

Same here, I shudder to think of my nada involved in ANY situation--much less an

emergency--in my life.

It's funny you mentioned the cell phone. I've had mine about a year and I

**refuse** to put my mother's # on it. It's like something in me forbids me

from doing it. Ugggghhhh.

I'm in the same boat. For the first time ever, it's cards only.

Have you ever considered listing her under NADA? I mean, who other than another

KO would even know and it will gauranttee that they won't look for MOM or DAD

listing and call it ICE. that way you can see if she is calling you, AND have

your own private chuckle.

LOL! No, I hadn't considered--but I am going to do this now :-)
