[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You [b]are[/b] being dramatic and cold.

I wouldn't allow alone time with your child, what I [i]would[/i] do is leave the child with your husband and YOU actually go and spend some time with your ailing mother. Because from your post it seems like you don't see it as your duty as her child to go see about her.[/quote]

I agree with the PP that you, OP, do need to step up and go see your mother.  It sounds as though you've done your best to isolate her and that can't be helping her mental health situation at all.

I agree that your daughter should not be alone with your mother until her situation stabilizes but I like the suggestions of another PP that your daughter can draw pictures or send cards or even make cookies to send to Grandma, who can't see her right now.  You can say Grandma is "sick" or "very tired" or whatever you need to.

But you do need to get over to see your Mom and get involved with her so that you are not contributing to her problems.  And your Dad could probably use the help since you have in effect isolated him, too.[/quote]
