This may sound mean to some people but I am trying to get rid of an ex who is not taking no for an answer. I finally went to a Pastor to make sure I was not wrong in what I was doing. He explained that it is not my job to take care of him in the ways I am trying. This gave me the strength to say no and do what is best for me. My mental health comes first. He is ill, maniputlative, financially strapped, needy and has needy children...etc. At first I felt guilty to turn my back on him but I know now I am taking care of myself and yes I can't fix or save him. Problem he called last night, left a message: I'd like to talk to you if I could? I'll speak to you soon. Advise needed: what to do? 1. Don't answer, 2. Answer and ask him not to call me again, 3. Send him an email or 4. Do not answer, ignore, do not respond at all? Please advise, from advise to past experience. This is a new one for me. Thank you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Sometimes, ANY contact you have with him, even to say 'knock it off' will be construed by the other person as an okay to keep up contact. And the needier they are, the more they are likely to think that. I think the best thing to do is have NO contact whatsoever. And the more he keeps trying, the more that is the right thing to do!!! Good luck. I hope he fades aways peacefully!!!
Take care and good luck!!!
Their advise is very good!~
