[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it's odd that you even have to ask[/quote]

my god, some people on here have absolutely zero empathy.

OP, I'm really sorry. This sounds like a very painful situation. I don't think you should have any contact with your mother, as she sounds unpredictable and violent. [/quote]
Thanks. This is hard. My relationship with my mom has always been rocky, but my DC loves her, and DC makes my mom happy (when she isn’t crying or yelling). I hate that I have to limit access, not only because it will hurt my mom, but it will hurt DC too. They were spending a lot of time together before my mom started having these mood changes. It’s been a hard few months.[/quote]

I have to point out that your DC does not 'make' your mother happy.  Your DC make distract your mother but how your mother feels is on her, not you or your DC.  You cannot make it better or worse. Your DC's safety is your priority.  As a PP said, give the treatment time to work and absolutely do not allow our DC to be alone with your parents (not just your mother) until your mother is stabilized. You are NOT being dramatic or cold.  That your father is trying to guilt you into allowing these visits does not speak well of his ability to make rational decisions when it comes to your mother and your DC.  [/quote]
