[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You: “Mom, I hope to visit with you on June 5 in the afternoon.”
Mom: “Great, I can’t wait to see the kids.”
You: “ Kids will not be with me.”
Mom: “Why?”
You: “During our last visit, the INCIDENT has made me re-think their exposure to you”.

Prepare for mom to be mad and for her to cancel your visit. [/quote]

This feels like the right approach.

Also - I'm not the OP, but I don't find anything about what she's saying to be unreasonable, confusing, or troll-like. There are a TON of things that I could imagine a parent doing that would make me keep my kids away, but not keep myself away. Such as: Frequent drug use or drunkenness, constant use of racial epithets like N word, blaming every hangnail on the Jews or something, etc. If my mom was high all the time, I'd probably still see her twice a year, because she's my mom and I love her, but I would absolutely not have my kids around her. And I can see why she's not posting details either - it might be personally identifying. [/quote]

I'm guessing you are lucky enough to not have crazy/dangerous people in your life (especially close family members like parents). Depending on what is going on with mom, cutting off contact in a very direct manner might trigger a shitstorm of epic proportions. I agree that OP does not need to share on this thread, but I would highly encourage seeking professional help before calling up mom and telling her she can no longer have contact with kids.[/quote]
