[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here again. I've actually gone back and read through everyone's responses and have given it some more thought.  Especially the pp who spoke of teaching my daughter to trust her own instincts.  I asked myself if I sent that message to my daughter clearly, and to be honest I'm not sure.  What I told her exactly was that while it was ok for her to not like my mom, I said it was not ok that she did mean things to her like hit her and throw things at her, because she is her grandmother.  The thing is, I understand that my daughter doesn't feel totally safe being alone with my mother whatever those reasons might be.  And giving it more thought, I realized that if it was anyone else that my daughter didn't feel totally safe with, I would WANT her to "be mean" instead of trying to play nice.  Because this is indeed a healthy, intelligent reaction for my daughter to have.

So it just made me realize that maybe I did falter in making that message clear to her, and perhaps I confused her healthy reaction to someone she didn't totally trust.  Tomorrow morning, I plan to make that message clear to her.  I love my mom, but my daughter does come first.[/quote]

Good, OP. Best wishes.[/quote]
