for the last few months, mine and my mums relationship has been quite unhealthy. She doesn’t live near me so only see each other every few months when she comes to visit.
prior to this, we’ve always had quite a close relationship but always argued.
anyway, the last few months we have argued like never before and I’ve decided to go NC for the time being. She’s started to become VERY bossy, and dictating towards me when she’s visiting. She stays with us too.
my kids have such a good relationship with her, and I don’t want to spite my kids and she hasn’t done anything towards them. But, how do I keep this relationship between them when I have gone NC? My husband is currently doing it, but it’s not fair on him to be stuck in the middle.
anybody else been in the same situation and could shed some light?
thank you x

I can't see how you can be no contact with your own Mum but also maintain a relationship between her and your dc.

It would seem that the closeness of her living with you when she visits makes it difficult for you to get on.

How long does she come for ? Might it make sense to shorten the visits ?
Or could she stay close by?

How far away is she? Could you go there sometimes? Or could you meet halfway ?
