[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She sounds like she is borderline.

Check out the book Stop Walking on Eggshells and the website Out of the Fog.

Sit your husband down and let him know that you hear him. Let him know that she likely has mental illness. Let him know that you agree this was unacceptable and that she will not babysit again. Gently explain that regardless of this, she’s your mom and you don’t choose your family. You will continue to see her with the child and with your father while working to maintain appropriate boundaries. Suggest that you both go to counseling (or that you’ll go alone) to get an objective point of view on what those boundaries could be and how to protect your relationship with him and your family with him while nevertheless remaining in touch with your parents, who are part of you.

Good luck. [/quote]

Agree; mom likely suffers from undiagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder.

To make matters worse, many psychiatrists refuse to take BPD patients due to the near-impossibility of treating that disorder.[/quote]
