It is a very disturbing situation and one that needs to be handled individually. My mother and I did not get on, or with my brother. Only my sister, because she herself was a needy person. When you are young you can’t understand why you love, when the parent is so mean. We were saved from more because my father was a good man. As we got older she got worse, so that when we became adults my brother and I began to dislike her mean and her filthy behavior. Eventually, my parents divorced, that is she divorced my father. As she got older my mother became a very nasty person, vindictive and treacherous. Because she was my mother I held back from confronting her. As she got into her 80s I tried to do my duty but felt guilty because by that time I hated. Physical punishment lessened as we got older but mental abuse replaced. Even at the end when she was in hospice I couldn’t take the opportunity to tell her what I thought. But I couldn’t bring myself down. She couldn’t understand why her children didn’t like her. I advise that you at least tell you, children, the truth but not in a hateful way, but that they understand the woman is sick. I’m surprised she wasn’t reported to the authorities. Be careful she does not start on the grandchildren.

English please. Lol

Omg I feel for you, you’re going to have to sit them down and explain things to them, try to let them know you were trying to keep them safe away from the hurt she caused you.
