You have to retrain them Sue.

So far they have been able to treat you like crap, then summon you to their rescue when the going gets tough. That must change and you are the only person that can do it.

Stop coming to their rescue - they are adults. It might be hard, but you must do it - what unlikable people they must be right now. Not just to you but others as well. If they can treat their mother like this, how do they treat everyone else?

So, hang up the phone if they get abusive. Tell them you won't talk unless they can be mature.
RETRAIN!
