My mother really has mental health problems. She is incredibly difficult to be around. I have dealt with it my whole life because she is my mom, but now I have a six month old daughter and she is putting her at risk. Yesterday, she gave her a peice of bread and my child started to choke. Then, my mom lied about giving it to her. I cannot trust her around my child. I dont know what to do about it because even if I am in the room at all times, if I turn away for a split second, she puts my child in danger. I dont want to hurt my mother, but I have to protect my child. Has anyone dealt with this before? what should I do? I have tried setting ground rules and reasoning with her, but she is too sick to stick to anything I tell her.
