[quote=Anonymous]Slow fade with the parents, but in my case I did tell the kids. I explained that grandma is having trouble managing her anger and those tantrums and abusive rants they witnessed are not OK. They can love grandma and enjoy her, but also know it's not OK for grandma to take out all her problems on me. I have shown them how we handle someone mentally ill who refused to get help. They know as soon as she rages, if I cannot distract her and get her to de-escalate, we calmly make an excuse to leave no matter what. My mother has gotten worse with age and has been evaluated so this isn't caused by dementia...sahe has always had anger management issues, but now she doesn't hide it at well and the kids need to know it's not OK.[/quote]
