[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 378346, member: 1157"] As much as you want to protect your son, I think you have to accept that you cannot control your mother's actions. She will do whatever it is that she will do. I do think that it's come to the point that you HAVE to protect yourself from her and her toxicity, and cut off contact, or at least keep it to a minimum, and very superficial. I've had to do this with my brother. If he asks about my kids, I give him a non-committal answer ("oh, they're fine.") I rarely take his calls and correspond mostly by email, so that I can think carefully over what I say in response to him. I also rarely initiate contact, I simply respond to his contact with me as needed. [/QUOTE]
