When my son has said something that has made me upset--I take a break (a day or two) from calling him or if he keeps calling me (more than one time in the same hour and it is obviously triggering)--I tell him I am struggling and need a break (as in, unless it is an emergency--let's talk about this tommorrow).

So maybe find a way to have some separation time from them?
I feel this might be a good option too.
