My mom, whom I've had a pretty, well, negative relationship with, gave my phone number out to someone that I did want to have my number. Now, this person calls me like once a month, or so; the first time I did answer the phone because I thought I recognized the number, but since then, I've been ignoring her calls. It's a lady from a former church that my family and I use to attend and this lady has know me since I was a little kid. In my early adult years, I did consider her as a mother-figure and I confided in her a little, until I realized that everything I told her she was telling my mom since they are close to the same age. So, now I no longer consider her a friend.
About my mom and I - basically, I realize now, that our relationship is very fake. My mom will smile all day in my face and say nice things, and then go behind my back and talk about me. When I was younger, I believed the nice things she said to me and refused to believe it when I heard her talking on the phone negatively about me or when I found a negative letter/e-mail that she wrote about me. But, now I realize that she's fake; so, when I'm around her, I just give her a healthy dose of her own medicine.
I obviously made a mistake in giving my mom my number, especially considering that she can't keep her mouth closed for nothing and thinks nothing of mine or anyone else's privacy.
Anyway, my question is, Do I continue to just ignore this lady's phone calls? How do I handle this?
