[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She hasn’t because she loves herself more than her grandkids. And the “cost” of being in their lives is too high for her. She sounds mentally ill, so at some point there is no logic to it. [/quote] That seems right. Counter-example: DH had a talk with a family member who pulled something on our young child that was remeniscent of some unhealthy/abusive ideas that person had about parenting (think emotional manipulation, using love as a means of control). Bright line drawn. Unlike OP's MIL, this person wanted to be in our lives and had enough emotional maturity to listen to him about what was unacceptable about what happened, and the relative appologized, started to read up on child development, and has been an amazing part of the child's life ever since.[/quote]
