[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds unbearable, I would suggest going back into therapy to strategize how you can forcefully and kindly set boundaries and not engage with their histrionics. That will put it on them to change their behavior or miss out. I would never again give my child’s sports schedule to these grandparents. Their reaction is how they manipulate you. [/quote] It sounds like op knows how to set boundaries, she just won't follow through like an adult and enforce them. Walk away from them and refuse to engage. Hang up the phone when they cross a boundary. Op, you don't really understand the whole concept of not being able to change their behavior. There are no magic words. You need to physically separate yourself from them. It is going to be ugly. [/quote]
