OP here (can't sleep because of toothache).

Just to clarify, my mother has deep-seated psychological issues. She said: "You're fat and can't have dessert" and she said nastily "Well, why aren't playing like this?" to my daughter... but these comments are expected because they are known obsessions with her, and are nothing compared to other things she did during my own childhood, which took me a long time to overcome: the worst is probably physically isolating me from other people, particularly other children, when I was little and doing her best to do so when I was a teenager (stemming from her anxiety, abandonment issues and weird jealousy). I finally ran away from home.

The decision to invite her with my father was not taken lightly! 
Yet since my mother is powerless to isolate DD and her barbs have less impact because we all tell DD that what Grandma says is not true, [b]the joy my father and daughter have when they spend time together outweighs her verbal abuse. [/b]

Wow.  So you are admitting that you allow your child to be verbally abused?  OP, do you realize how ridiculous this is?  You are the parent.  Your daughter might enjoy spending time with your father, but YOU ARE THE PARENT!  You need to protect your child from your verbally and emotionally abusive mother.  You admit that the "barbs" do have SOME impact.  Why are you subjecting your child to this?  So that your father can have some enjoyment?  How can you put your father above your own child?  So that YOU can enjoy seeing them spend time together?

You're disgusting OP, and I feel badly for your daughter.
