[quote=Anonymous]OP, if it's a behaviour control issue, (something organic or related to geriatric physical/ mental health) she wouldn't have flipped personalities to play victim/give you the punishing silent treatment. She wouldn't have been able to NOT do the thing you cautioned her on. Do the visits as rarely as needed and have witnesses/buffers. Keep the conversation moving. Even better if your kids tell stories about their days/lives as you can use their stories to say 'yes, Larlo, Larla was not using her niece words that day, but ignoring her helped her realize her behaviour was not pleasant' or 'Larla, I like the way you were patient but clear about being safe with your toys' etc. Eventually the hope would be that even if Mum doesn't change, it sinks in that this is a boundary for you.
