I don't have many suggestions. If you decide to communicate with him via phone, is it possible to you to make a conversation about himself? I mean like one-sided responses, but limit his chance to ask you or gossip by asking more and more about himself. I did this to a NPD and it was always effective.

Yeah, I feel like if he asks me questions I can just give a vague response and follow up asking about him and turning it back to him.
I mean, there is some info I can give him. Like recent visits to see my mom, not details just like oh, I took a trip up to NC to see her, etc. Or I just saw the new Incredibles movie. Maybe I can make a list of info I'm okay to share so it at least sounds like I'm having a bit of a conversation?
Thank you for the advice!
