[quote=Anonymous]OP I get it. My mom is manipulative. The examples you gave may not have been ideal, but an "I miss you" from a genuine loving and empathetic person" hits different than "I miss you" from a manipulator. The fact that she says things suggesting you hate her and tells them what to say crosses major lines. I disagree with the advice that you let a 15 year old handle it. I am an assertive and intelligent person and it took me until middle age and therapy to figure out what was going on with mom and family dynamics and how to set boundaries and deal with the fallout. Most likely if the 15 year old "handles it" grandma will get upset and escalate and possible lash out. Keep your boundaries. Remain calm and matter of fact when she confronts you. [/quote]
