Bad Grandma š¢
Iād love some advice from some other moms out there who feel like reading this.
My mom is really immature... she dumped some crap on me the weekend before Christmas, completely out of the blue, and at a time when I thought our relationship had never been better.
She basically had a huge pity party and blamed me for a bunch of horrible things. I told her we could talk about it but I wanted to get through Christmas and New Years first, she said she didnāt want to talk about it, wanted me to forget about it, letās just go back to normal, etc. well I couldnāt do that after being blamed for some pretty awful and hurtful things, our relationship will never go back to normal, so Iāve been distancing myself a little, but Iāve noticed that when I have sent pictures of the kids or anything Iāve gotten the full on silent treatment or one word responses.
My son just turned 6 months yesterday and Iām not sure if I should even share pictures or updates with her anymore. Iāve been sending her things here and there since Christmas, but not once has she ever asked for anything, not once has she checked on any of her grandkids, never asked for pics, nothing. If I donāt make an effort there is no contact between us. The only time she contacted me was my birthday and it was a super awkward obligatory phone call.
So my question is, should I even keep trying here? She makes no effort whatsoever and Iām exhausted here. If I stop I guarantee sheāll blame me later, itās happened before. She has a narcissistic personality where sheāll say āI didnāt even get to talk to my grandkids because you were so cold to meā or āyou never picked up to the phone to call meā
The last time we played the silent treatment game she missed my daughters 5th birthday then blamed me for not reminding her.
I hate to cut off my kids from their grandma, and weāve gone through some great seasons with our relationship, but it doesnāt seem healthy.
I just want a mom who cares about me and the kids and calls/texts, I hate the stupid games and drama.
