[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would feel like an idiot for knowingly sending my kids to an abusive environment each summer and then getting frustrated that it's not a happy, peaceful experience.[/quote]

+1  Your dad slapped a 7 year old.  Your mom made your kid eat out of the trash.  What exactly do you need to hear to stop letting them watch your daughter??[/quote]

This. You really need to crowdsource this? I would apologize to my children for sending them there and not do it again.

But how I feel doesn't really matter. How do you and your spouse feel about it?[/quote]

Grandparents usually let the grandkids get away with things they’d never let their own kids do. If they’re this abusive to their grandchildren, it makes me wonder what they did to OP. She says she has been accused of being too overreactive. I might be reading too much into her posts, but my parents were like that. They would do or say mean things, then say I was being too sensitive if I said they hurt my feelings. I really didn’t understand that I was abused until I was an adult, and I realized I would never treat my kids the way they treated me. Then when I started limiting time with my kids, my parents accused me of helicoptering. I didn’t have any reference so I assumed I was being too uptight.

When you grow up with abusive parents, you don’t always know what normal looks like. Things other people take for granted can be foreign to us. [/quote]
