[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. Unless she's abusive to the kids (and she may very well be), theirs is a separate relationship from yours.  I wouldn't deny my kids a relationship with their grandparents solely because the grandparent is mean to me. Only if their own unique relationship is toxic.[/quote]

Way to throw your kids under the bus!

It's easy for people w bipolar/narcissistic disorders to have a good relationship with young children because it's such a simple interaction, there's no room for the kids to disappoint them. However, at some point the kids will start having opinions of their own and develop more complex personalities. This is when the mentally ill grandparent willl completely turn on them - just like she did to her own daughter. The kids will be really hurt and confused, and the worst part is that this could all have been prevented!

In this situation I would allow my kids to know who my mom is but we would remain at arms length. I wouldn't set up my kids to be hurt and manipulated by her. That's just cruel. [/quote]
