[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she turns up, then don't open the door? Make her wait outside. She's manipulating you into letting her in. Don't fall for it. My own borderline mom flew from Europe to "surprise" me but I did the same to her. She ended up getting a local hotel and hightailed it back home after a few days of harrassment and attempted emotional blackmail. Hold your ground.[/quote]

That must have taken a lot of strength.

OP your only options are to inform her strongly she is not invited for Thanksgiving and will not be let in.  Explain this to your sons and that you *may need to call the police to help her understand she does not have a right to be at your house after you have told her to not come and asked her to leave.  If you did end up calling the police, I'm pretty sure she won't pull something like this again...so there is that.

Other option would be again, to tell her she is not invited and do not come over.  But don't mention plans to her or your boys and then be sure to be gone somewhere on Thanksgiving.

Sorry, parents like these are awful.  [/quote]
