My Nanna

Product Information

I failed as a parent because I’m human and made plenty of mistakes, outside the aforementioned above. My daughter, as a young child, put me on a pedestal (one I never deserved) and I let her down. If a parent is hopelessly negligent (eg drug addict) or abusive to the children then it is ABSOLUTELY the place of a grandparent to bring this to the attention of authorities and work towards gaining custody, Oh my goodness, this is my mother-in-law! She is completely manipulative & a covert narcissist who plays the victim to elicit sympathy. She lavishes my children with gifts (even though I have told her not to), has decorated ‘their bedrooms’ at her house in a completely over the top way & tries to constantly win their affection during her secretive whispering to my children even when I’m in the same room! She has no respect for my boundaries, if I say no to her she will try her hardest to get her own way & if that fails she resorts to sulking.

But now I understand that she wants to keep me to herself, she wants to be more important to me than my daughter.

As strange as it may seem, too many gifts can be a bad thing. Not only is it manipulative, but it also teaches the kids to be spoiled and materialistic. As for my own situation, I failed to protect my daughter from my parents and they groomed her to hate me, beginning in her teen years. I failed to see what was going on and chalked it up to teen angst and not recognizing what my parents were doing to my child. By the time she was an adult, it was too late and hers and my relationship was utterly destroyed. She takes their side regardless of what the facts are or what anyone else tells her.

Thank you for your message, I feel that when my grandad passed 5 years ago I really don’t grieve as put all my attention onto looking after my nanna, so now I have lost both of thrm feel like I am grieving for two people. Yes, Kasey. Toxic grandparents should be able to report to child abuse. I had my daughter in 1968. At that time most babies were given up for adoption. I was 19 and had a very good job to leave my parents’ house and care for her myself. My parents insisted she stay in their home with or without me. I was physically and verbally abused by my father since I can remember. I even got punished for falling because I’d have to go to the doctor for stitches. I was always scared to death of my father. Now with my daughter if I didn’t do what he said his threat would be he would take her away from me for being an unfit mother. I always assumed responsibilities in buying my own car, paying all expenses I was responsible for. I even had to save for 3 months ahead to make sure my car wouldn’t be reposted when pregnant. Basically, my father enjoyed beating me up even in front of my daughter. My uncle, my father’s brother, confronted my father and said he was taking me to live with him and my cousins. Naturally my father threatened him and that was that. Many grandparents find joy in buying gifts for the grandchild, cooking them delicious meals, treating them to an extra cookie, letting them stay up past bedtime…That’s why children tend to adore their grandparents.you did something very courageous: you stood up to the abuser. You said: this is not OK. This is unacceptable. Not everyone can do that. Your mother couldn’t do that, may she rest in peace. Your sister couldn’t do that. But we’re not talking about regular folks here. We’re talking about toxic people, not grandma who occasionally sneaks your child a cookie. You must be an incredibly strong, compassionate woman. No one survives growing up with narcissistic parents unscathed. But if you’re in a counseling profession, you must have found a way to turn your pain into growth, and a vehicle for helping other people. You go girl!!! My Nanna is a fun picture book for children of all ages. It’s written in rhyme accompanied by beautiful illustrations. It’s the perfect book to share memories of time spent with loved ones. There are Always at least 2 sides of the story. Not all grandparents are narcs! Many are loving and still cut off. It’s an epidemic that is shaming and heartbreaking.

Playing the victim, he constantly posts childhood photos of me on his facebook profile (without my consent) where he brags about me like everything I achieved in my life is because of him, and I’m the ungrateful grandson who never visits him.Want to know more about toxic grandparents? I’ve written an eBook on the subject. It describes 5 types of challenging grandparents— Controlling, Narcissistic, Angry, Indifferent, and Inappropriate — and how to deal with each type. Playing the victim accomplishes that while allowing them to evade any responsibility for their actions.

It appears to me you are a very controlling person that doesn’t value family more then friends. Life is to short. It also seems you also hold alot of resentment. year old daughter. My mom has told me since the beginning that my daughter is a “problem child”, difficult, mean or even narsissistic. She constantiy points out how smart, nice and well behaving child I was and compares that to my daughter always telling me how “difficult ” person my daughter is compared to me. The worst part of this is that it took me years to even notice this! She really made me feel that my completely normal child is in some mysterious way really difficult. I also spoily grand kids ….but ours goes deeper our side is family ort …so highly involved grandparents from my parents when we all lived in same city…helped when i was in school and working …..daughter in laws side of the family ..only use to seeing family maybe 3 times a year ..The first action of a parent in this instance is to tell the grand parent to ‘STOP IT’ and explain the harm they are causing. If they refuse to stop, cut ties until they come to their senses (this might be an indefinite period). Make sure you keep a record of all the instances of their harassing behavior too. The most important thing is whats in the best interest of the children. Remember that.
