It never ends. Hrumph!!!!

The current saga continues. Mymomzilla again brought up the return of these items with my oldest who did as instructed and told her that the message had been passed on. The truth is that we gave back much of what she is after long ago and I'm not sure if she has simply forgotten or just wants something that we do still have. Regardless I am hoping it ends there but know in my gut that as long as there is contact between my children and mymomzilla it wont.

She is still supposed to take them out for lunch on Saturday and they still want to go. That is the only reason that I have not called it off and told her not to contact any of us ever again. The bottom line is that she wants engagement and I will not give her that, not even to tell her that she is precariously close to losing her grandchildren all together. I will assure you all that if she blows up during this lunch visit it will be her last visit. My kids don't deserve to be anything but loved and cherished by her and that is not what she gives them.

I have apologized to my oldest for being put in this position and given them a little bit more background about why things are the way they are. My oldest has a petty good handle on who mymomzilla is and at least for now is prepared to put up with her crap but even they are starting to question that. Who wouldn't?

In the meantime my wife and I will be on eggshells the entire time our kids are with her ready to rescue them if need be. We have discussed with our oldest a safe exit plan and should the need arise will enact it without hesitation. As I type and reread this I can't help but think both that this is absurd for any of this to be necessary and how sad it is that in fact it is absolutely necessary.

Keep your fingers crossed, I know ours will be.
