@Farley21,
There's plenty of options:
- set firm boundaries
- learn to respectfully but firmly assert yourself
- if you aren't good at those, learn & practice (take classes, read books, get counselling, search youtube etc + put what you learn into practice)
- get support (friends. family, etc)
- explain what is going on to your children / explain how you are handling things to your children
If you don't want him constantly ringing you:
- set boundaries on how many times a week he/she can call you' or
- filter everything through voicemail; or
- insist he/she only contact you via email (excepting emergencies), and read your email once a day
etc
Not sure why your ex would commit to you...
