[quote=Anonymous]OP, you and DH need to be more empowered. YOU two decide the pattern. Don't be so reactive to HER. She's obviously not a loving-close ordinary Grandma/family member ... and never will be, btw Socialize at a neutral location (ideally) so you can leave when you want or if she vents or speaks hurtfully. You calmly with no drama end the visit. Have shorter, defined visits. 2 hrs together absolute max, probably 60 -90 min. Establish a rhythm. You decide. Not too ambitious but one you and DH can sustain without resentment. She either shows up to the invitation or she doesn't. When she is invited by you. If she doesn't behave, the visit is cut short.[/quote]
