I don't have a super relavent bg, this post is regarding my moo. She's textbook narcassist. Didn't really know how to parent, etc... We've always had a strained relationship because I hate having to be the adult in the relationship.
So moo and step dad spring a weekend visit on us Friday and ask to come stay Saturday thru Monday. I'm not happy but whatever. They come and do this typical PA, although I don't pay much attention. We go out to eat and they get behind us and don't even offer to buy their own food, I thought that was weird that they expected us to buy. Again, whatever. Fast forward we had an event to go to and were not going cancel because they sprung this trip on such short notice. We were gone 2 1/2 hours and left our older kids (16, 14 & 10) home the oldest hid in the basement (they know they are weird) and they latched on to my 10'year old. She must have said something about the walking dead. It is a big deal in our house. My mom proceeds to tell her that it's evil and demons are going to come into her soul if she watches it. And zombies could come alive and come get her when she is sleeping. I didn't find this out until after school today or I would flipped out. We arrived home at 7:55 from our event and my dd said they went to bed at 6. Again it didn't come out until this afternoon that they were pissed about TWD and refused to be near us while we watched such evil. They proceeded to get up at 4:45 am in an attempt to leave without saying anything. But not before waking up my DD at 5 to talk to her on a school day!!!! So here is why I'm here.... I'm torn about addressing this or just phasing out to LC or CO. This is not the first time I've caught moo talking about demons and inappropriate things. As it stands we only see her once every1-2 years. I really want to rip into my mom for what she did by placing fear in my child. But here's the kicker.... You cannot rationalize with irrational people! She doesn't have the cognitive ability to process what id be saying. All weekend they went off about their conspiracy theories from the government, UFO's, giant skeletons, religious extremism. I mean it is freakin insane. And yes i grew up with this and escaped far more rational and normal than anyone could have hoped. What's your opinion... Drop the rope or call them out? Dh will be going back there with the older boys for hunting and will likely see them. I told him not to visit them. He said he would but is expecting her to come unglued on him but he's ready. I wish he'd either stay away or tear into her (he's not that type, ugh)
