As you learn more and more about abuse tactics and the types of people with whom you just can’t win, you’ll feel like the world opened up in enlightenment and understand just what you’re dealing with.
You can put up a boundary by not picking up the phone at late hours.
You can try to say you’ll try to help, but just not come through. I know that’s passive-aggressive, but it avoids confrontation.
It’s hard to not get sucked in by the guilting, too. Maybe it’s best to just let them say you are bad, ungrateful, whatever. Just say, “I’m sorry.” I think that’s where I am at now with my struggles.
