Hi,

I understand. My Mom had been living with us, and at first we let her have contact, but then the kids were bonding to her over us. So, I had to ask her to move out! She had NO contact for over 6 months.

Yikes! She was pretty upset, and very hurt. But it is good we stood our ground. This kids are doing very well now, and now that some time is passed, she is over it and gets to see them on most weekends.

I still get upset when she does too much like tries to feed them or comfort them, and they have been home 2 years this coming December. I am not as concerned as when she lived here though and wanted to pick them up and kiss them everytime she saw them.

Hold your ground, you are doing the right thing. They will understand later, and even if they do not, you will know you did the right thing for your kids.

Good luck!

Renae
