Question Posted Thursday September 18 2008, 8:15 pm
Okay, I'm going to try and type as calmly as possible...
Anyway, My boyfriend's Mother calls about 30 times a day. My boyfriend never wants to talk to her "he doesn't really like his mother much" anyway, We have told her that he doesnt' feel like talking. Yesterday I finally called her back and told her to please stop calling my house. His mother called back 2 minutes later leaving a nasty message saying how I was mentally retarded, and calling her son an ADD bast***.. so I saved the message and didn't call her back. Today she called again!!! only this time she asked us not too call her anymore and that my boyfriends ex girlfriend is going to find us and kick our butts. I'm extremely fed up and I'm extremely P.O.ed one more call and I'm probably going to go through the roof. I don't want to call the police for harrassment just yet because his mother is mentally ill and she's in the hospital for a fractured spine and taking some medication.. but I DO want her to stop calling my house and there is no way to block her on my phone system. I really need some advice PLEASE!!!
Seriously. Tell your friends and family that you are no longer picking up your phone, and if they leave a message you will call them right back, then ignore the phone.
OR, and I've done this before, tell those who call you to let the phone ring twice, and then hang up, and then call agian.
Either way, that wll mean you stop having to speak to her. She can leave whatever messages she would like, and frankly, being ill and in the hospital, you SHOULD be encouraging your boyfriend to speak to her every once in a while. That is only respectful, even if she is a pain, he ought to try. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

If she continues to do this when she's 'clear-headed', involve the police. First, just ask if they can block her number, or something similar. What she's doing could be considered harrassment.
For now though I'd give her the benefit of the doubt, because I said some pretty ridiculous things when I was on pain medication [let's just say I was talking about my ex with the attending nurse and leave it at that!] and she might have an irational grudge against you. Talk to her once she's not in so much pain. Good luck!
