Thursday.

Someone asked if Steve has contacted me since I left.

Yes he has for an assortment of reasons, mostly made up and irrelevant.

He doesn't know where I have moved to, just that I'm in the same village as my daughter. I've told him I'm still staying with her.

His latest message was to say that he has to have surgery,  I replied, saying I hoped it would go well.

Admirable restraint.

Sounds like he's going to be a candidate for visiting carers. Make it very clear to the hospital that you are separated because some social worker will call you to make his discharge arrangements.

That was a really good response. xx

I too was wondering if Steve had contacted you. Will also say I was reading your blog from the beginning and sadly I saw some of his controlling behavior years ago. Sadly it just got worse and I don’t blame you for forging your own path.
He reaching out he was hoping you would bend and go back to be his nurse. Now he will have to figure something out.

I'm glad you are standing up for yourself.

A minimal response, which is good. No need to involve yourself in long conversations. I expect this to be a new form of controlling behaviour, the " poor me, I am vulnerable now". Stay strong. Carole R.

Good response, keep any replies as concise as you can and give away nothing. Great idea saying you are staying with your daughter, he won't bother you there will he. Stay strong
