[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t discuss your past with your kids.  Blame dementia even if it’s not true.  Grandma is old and doesn’t know what she’s saying.  [/quote]

Talking about it takes the power out of it and prevents the generational trauma.[/quote]

Maybe.  I’m on the other side of this.  I was one of the not favorite grandchildren and my parents always talked to us about it and reassured us.  They are STILL talking about this.  We think they should have gotten some therapy.  I didn’t have any deep trauma and the issues really were with my father and his siblings, not the cousins.  I’ve posted before and the cousins didn’t care.  We got along fine and still do.  We laughed it off and are all adults now.  My parents, who are now elderly, go overboard to make sure they do not tell our kids which is a favorite because they do not want it  be like how we grew up.  It’s at the point that our kids, the new grandkids, joke about which are the favorites because it’s still being discussed too much.

I’m sticking with “grandma has dementia” and moving on.  [/quote]
