I'm so sorry. It's really hard when they get upset. Even when they can't remember exactly what caused the anxiety it can linger. At one point, I had to cut off all information that was upsetting. Don't feel bad that you don't call often. Maybe if you speak to her and just call instead of FaceTime and ask her not to discuss the rest. Your job is taking care of him. She should understand.
Blessings.
