[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP it would be helpful to understand at least at the 50,000 foot level the nature of the 2019 incident— was someone put in immediate danger, was mental health involved, are there legal issues at play.  The reason is because the response will vary; if your mother still lives with your father and you will be cut off from him if you tell her visits with the kids are off the table, I’d dissemble.  Sorry this year we’re going to John’s parents for Thanksgiving.  Yeah we want to have a quiet Mother’s Day at home. Etc.

If she’s the kind of dysfunctional to do something like “sue for grandparent visitation” then I would for sure say “Mom, since you left Jennifer unattended in the bath when she was 8 weeks old because you were drinking, we’re not planning for her to see you again” so she would know what the position in court would be and not try it.  I would probably even do that digitally to make sure I had receipts.

This seeking for information isn’t people being prurient, some genuinely want to help you/ have been there (depending where “there” is)[/quote]

This is good advice. I did this when I limited contact with my dysfunctional parents after my father physically assaulted me. I keep the texts just in case he carries out his threats to pursue legal action against me. He has cut off communication between my mother and I. And he lurks on this site and trolls. I fully expect him to read this.[/quote]
