[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there anyone else in the picture that's able to be the middle man?  Say and Aunt take grandma out for lunch and then you're there.  [/quote]

I wish, but no. They live across the country from me and everyone else. No family nearby. And my mom never leaves her side even for a moment. Otherwise maybe I could coordinate a trip out there with another relative but my mom would never let grandma go to lunch alone with someone else.[/quote]

I'm the PP with the paranoid aunt and I can say that it's a bad idea to spring a visit on someone by suddenly appearing at lunch or whatever as suggested above. It can instantly get mom's and/or grandmother's back up, so to speak. Even if grandmother were just fine and wanted to see OP, grandmother might be terrified that mom would be furious (and take it out on grandma later at home) if mom found out OP turned up and saw grandmother without mom there. Not worth the cross-country flight to try to pull a sneak visit like this. [/quote]
