Possible trigger:

heard from my abusers today.

they left me a voicemail on my phone.

they left their number withheld, so they obviously don't want me to respond, but what do I do?

I can't have them back in my life- not now, so much to sort out still.

Ignore the message and see if you can block the number they called from. You don't need these people in your life. If the message was threatening then report it to the police.

I agree with wildflower. I am sorry this is happening to you.

[Wild Coyote]

I don't know your story.
Are these family members (or possibly former friends) trying to get in touch?
Is the caller abusing you in the voicemail? I hope not.

If there's anyone you feel is an abuser and you don't want to talk with them, don't talk with them.

You can screen calls before picking up or you can pick up and tell them you are not ready to talk with them.

If you don't want them calling, tell them so if they call and/or try to get their number so you can block the calls.

I'm sorry this has happened. Must feel intrusive and very upsetting?

Change your number and make sure it's unlisted if you can. I wouldn't give them the chance to call again. Not if they're abusive like that.
