My Dad's sister is an elderly widow, late 70s. She recently got in touch with me, as I did not know her growing up. My Dad was not in contact with her for many years. I was at first glad to talk to her, as we didn't know each other when I was growing up but once my sister gave her # to my Aunt, she has been calling almost every day and she has been telling me offensive sexual jokes and some that are racist and she thinks they are funny. I just don't want to be mean to her. I have told her before I am busy witth work, family, etc and she says she will not call for a while and a few weeks later she is back calling every few days even as late as 10pm.. Besides blocking her # I am not sure what else to do? She is a nice person, she may just be lonely and I don't want to hurt her feelings. She has been calling other family members the same way also and they have been avoiding her calls.
Has anyone dealt with this situation? Any advice helpful. Thanks!
I gave her my cell# but she still calls the home phone.
There is a reason your dad was not close to her.
if your dad has passed away, you probably felt the need to get close to her, to get closer to him somehow.
You will actually be standing (closer) by your dad if you don’t develop a friendship with this woman.
Thanks
Like said, maybe there was a reason Dad didn't keep in touch. This woman is literally a stranger to you. Seems she cannot get the hint. I may have been a little rude and ask very firmly, DO NOT call me anymore and hung up. There has to be some mental problem here if she continues to call when asked not to.
