Is she recording us, phone gadget that picks random numbers to call from that will record conversation?

She could be calling from a jail and gets a different outgoing trunk when she calls a few min apart. They have switchboards with lots of outgoing trunks. She may also know her calls are recorded and wants record of how she is now so interested in talking to her son. You must be monitering her calls on answering machines as you don't say you or your husband are talking to her since the boy isn't home. may hap you should record her calls. thease things are always tough, but then, none of us have the choice of picking our parents from the start. Lots of luck.
