We explore how our listener's mother destroys boundaries over and over again, and how she prioritsed her image above her daughter's safety, and her grandchildren's safety. When things come to a head because the mother sides with our listener's abusive ex husband our listener has no choice but to go no contact with her mother.
Feeling certain she's doing the right thing, she's now faced with supporting the grief of her son who misses the 'loving grandma' who adored him, but ignored his siblings.
What can she do?
