Good for you!! Screen the calls then if you can't turn the phone off, don't answer except during appropriate times, and keep your boundaries in place for what you need. She will figure it out in time with consistency. I'm sorry she did not hear you about what you told her and for what you tried to tell her when you didn't want to do something. This can change if you put your foot down so to speak. It's important that things are not just one sided and although she may want your company, not at the expense of upsettting you and ignoring your wishes as well. Stick to your guns, stay consistent, and things WILL change. Sending some strength and patience in the interim. ((((Evening)))).
