Yes, but then there would be a probe of why I don't want to talk about my life.
The other part will be the insistence on talking to me about my father or my brothers, whom I do not have contact with, for my own protection. Him telling me to "be the bigger person," which means "let them continue to abuse you for the sake of their own peace or the family looking good." If he even brings them up I will just say I don't want to talk about that. I mean, what do I do when he refuses to respect my desire to not discuss something? Just hang up?
