Thanks for the responses. These forums always help to make me feel stronger and get some perspective. So, do I just continue to ignore his calls and try this avoidance method (since I haven't tried this before)? I know if I try to explain that what he's doing upsets me, he's just going to freak out. I just feel he's going to get enraged no matter how I handle this. I've tried just blowing him off for a while, then answering a call here and there, but even that is upsetting me.
