[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s time for you to be the mama bear and protect your children from these people.

You say you don’t want to deny your children a relationship with their grandparents.

Listen to me-I’m telling you that you are OBLIGATED to do this as their mother.

I also think one or both of the parents have narcissistic personality disorder. Your son is the scape goat. Check out the reddit forum “raised by narcissists”.

If he wants to carry on some kind of relationship with his parents, I don’t know that you can stop your DH, but he does it on his own, with no involvement of you or your children.

Please also be the mama bear for your husband, who doesn't have one.  Reach out to your own parents and let them know what it going on.  Make happy memories with your side of the family and your nuclear family.  DH will need your support as he starts to disengage from his parents.  Family is more than just your parents - it's your kids and your spouse and your in laws too.  He HAS a family that loves and supports him and thinks he is worthy and valuable, even if this one branch is toxic.  Tell - and show - him this over and over and over again.[/quote]
