[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asking him to leave was the right call.

I totally agree with you OP, but this is not your relationship to manage, it’s your mother’s.  If this kind of behavior continues, I would refuse to be present when the two of them are together, especially if I have children.  I wouldn’t want them to see their grandmother disrespected by a grown man in this way.  There are better ways to handle anger and hurt feelings than using words like that especially in front of other family members, full stop.[/quote]

This is really all you can and should do.

You’re going to get exaggerated and/or defensive responses from both of them if you try something silly like mediating an argument. Plus whether you’re moms senile from old age now or mental disorders, no data points will come from her now.

My moms sister turned alcoholic to now in a home at age 65, would really lash out at my mom.  My parents had to stop going over there and block the emails. My aunt would say horrid things, that made no sense. Like blame her 70 yo sister for picking in her when little and how she hates her and that’s why her life’s been messed up for years.

Yet her life wasn’t messed up, we always shared holidays and presents and events for decades. Then when the aunt fell off the rails after retirement she blamed whomever was around. Now she’s divorced and alone as well. With severe liver damage and a ward of the state. [/quote]
