In July 2022, I attempted to defend myself during a phone conversation with Jeff. My goal was simply to correct a misunderstanding. Jeff became angry and shut the conversation down immediately.That moment made it clear that further contact would not be healthy for me, and I set a permanent boundary with the Hix family.This prohibition is not about grudges or unresolved conflict. It is a stability boundary that has been in place for years. Paula was not responsible for the event, and she has never been asked to manage this boundary. It is included here only for clarity.
