[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 446073"] Ktllc, I completely understand. I am going through the same type of thing with my mother (my dad has been dead 13 years). I am no longer speaking to her EXCEPT when the whole family is together because 1) she doesn't understand the info she's read about difficult child's diagnosis, 2) she has been convinced for years that me spoiling him rotten is the only problem he has and 3) she accused me of lying about him having a "problem" to cover for his bad behavior. She says the only way she will believe me is if she talks to the psychiatrist (whom we only see for medication checks and are in the process of changing) herself. I have decided it is better for me AND my difficult child not to have contact with her except for special family occasions and then it is only briefly. I feel bad for my kids because it is the only grandparent they have but she is just too emotionally "hard" on all of us. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} to you and to difficult child. It is soooo hard when the people we go to for support do more damage than good and don't leave the parenting to the parents. I feel for ya hon. [/QUOTE]
