[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sending them over the edge is not your problem. But I can see why you might want to soften the blow. Focus on the facts.

"Larla has described hearing Mom cry all night, hearing you argue, and there being a lot of discussion of death and loss. We have noticed that she is very stressed and anxious after an overnight. As her parents, we have to look out for her and our decision is that these overnights don't work for her now. When things are better, maybe we can try again."[/quote]
Thanks. I think this is a lose-lose situation no matter what I decide to do. I like this script though.[/quote]

It's not a lose-lose situation. Your daughter will be winning.  It's only a loss to your parents. And parents have to provide a stable environment for children.  Period. Full stop. 
On another note, it sounds like your mom is sad about her impending death?  Can you get her therapy for that?  Talk to her doctor?  I have had a lot of older relatives, plus lived in Florida for several years, so I am an expert in Old People Psychological/Sociological Issues and I assure you that her ways are not the norm for her age.
