[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are right to want to make a change, but don't do it while in a fury. Give yourself one week and think about what you want going forward. Here are some suggestions: * Reduce your expectations of her as a grandma to 0. In return, you don't need to be nice to her about it, either. * For family photos, is there a sibling who could get them for you? Take your own and don't pay her for her bad behavior. * No more lending money to her. Ever. If she is destitute she can find a homeless shelter, but you realize she is probably resourceful enough to fend for herself before this happens. * Don't call. If she calls, keep a neutral tone and don't engage. You may decide to change this in 6 months or a year, but not until you are happy with how things are proceeding. [/quote]
