[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give some thought about why you want your kids around someone who seems toxic. It sounds like she treats you poorly and is critical of you and your kids, why do you want your kids around her? Keep in mind that you cannot create relationships for other people. If your mother isn't actively engaging the kids or trying to form a relationship and your kids aren't responding to her, then you can't magically make a relationship happen. You can provide the environment, suggest activities, arrange dates, but you can't force anyone to engage. [/quote] I don't think she is toxic. I think she is damaged and emotionally stunted. She loves me in her own way - through meals, through cleaning. She will literally do those things to the point of making herself ill, in the name of love. [/quote]
