[quote=Anonymous]My solution was to visit only once a year with family, stay in hotel, partially so parents lives weren't as disrupted and they were less irritable and we got a break from all the criticism. Nothing is going to China with your parents OP, and there is nothing your mom can do about your dad, if you've already tried to get him to stop and failed. I would talk to your kids and explain to them that granddad is emotionally abusive but Grandma enjoys seeing them. Teach them how to leave the situation when he starts picking at them and how to identify the abuse. Make it a learning experience and stay only a short time. [/quote]
