WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY TO JONELLE
Jonelle should sit down with her dad one night when he has not been drinking or using drugs. Explain that he should not and cannot call her at work, unless it is an emergency. If she wants, Jonelle can promise to call home during her break to make sure there are no questions. If her father does call and she feels comfortable doing so, Jonelle can politely and respectfully remind him that she cannot take calls at work, and then hang up.
