Going NC with grandparent?

Need some advice if anyone has done this

When me and DP got together his mum always said she preferred his ex (partner broke up with her but he just didn't love her anymore and he thought she was cheating But never proved it).

When son was born we stayed at my parents house as she said oh I can't move in with partner. We haven't got son baptised yet (almost 10m) ams we don't know if we are going to ask partners mum is very religious and partner is but not as much as his mum and I'm not but partner said he doesn't know if he wants that but she asks us when and says we have to.

We went on holiday the start of July with his dad (his mum and dad aren't together) and she was saying why didn't we go with her when she asked us to go a few weeks after but partner couldn't get it off work again.

Today we went to see her and she was quite rude as she said partner was faking his broken hand and she called me fat and lazy and said I don't deserve to be a mum.

Partner told her to stop and she wouldn't listen so he told her to shut up and she said I'm a bad influence on partner because before we got together he would've never told her to shut up.

We are thinking of going NC for her but not his dad or his stepmum as to be honest his stepmum has been more of a grandma to son.

Anyone done this or has any advice?

Sorry you've had to go through that and her saying those horrible things to you! Unfortunately we went NC with my partners mum this time last year after her being angry that my parents had my dd for our first date night after she was born. She is a very jealous and childish person. This has then led her to calling me controlling and even putting on social media that I abuse her son - not the case at all!! She has not seen my dd who is 19 months old since last October! The hardest part of it all is for my partner - he has tried ringing her, texting her etc but with no reply. It will be difficult but if your lives are going to be better without her do it! I can honestly say my partner is a better person for not having contact with his mum and he says the same!xx

I'm assuming you're an adult- why are you letting your partners mother decide whether you can live together? It's nothing to do with her.

As is getting your child baptised- it's your and your partners decision, it has absolutely nothing to do with her.

I wouldn't have anything to do with anyone who told me I'm not fit to be a mother.
