Not unless I was there. I would observe how she is with the kids and how she speaks with them. You may have to address the situation directly with your mom. Hopefully, she may have matured and learned somethings about herself over the years. If she begins, however, to repeat her past behavior, I would keep time with her and the kids very limited, preferably on your territory and always in your presence.

It would depend on how the emotionally abusive parent behaved. If she got nasty or sharp with the kids, then that would be end of contacts. Bear in mind that people sometimes do change as they get older and maybe your kids can help your abusive Mom become a human being....at least give her a chance - but vigiant too.

i did and yes i would because just because she was emotionally abusive to u doesnt mean she will to the kids. just be there to moniter what goes on. 9 times out of 10 a grand parent is different w/grandkids because they see what they did wrong w/u and they try not to make the same mistake. my mother showed differences between me and my older sister and she still does and it caused alot of trouble w/all of us still to this day, but she is different w/my kids so yes she gets to see them. i think its ok as long as ur kids dont go thru the same thing.

I never let my mom babysit my kids, but I took them to see her often when I could be there with them. My mother is in a nursing home and she's still abusive.

Yes, I would cause I did. They need to know both sides of the family. When you are an adult, you have control of the situation at all times.It is what you say that goes. Also when you get ready to get up and leave you can.Your Mom knows her past and would not like you to let all know how she treated you, believe me on that.But if you feel like you're unable to share your children, then don't.Good luck on your choice.......

Let the children know their Grandmother, but do not leave them with her. Make sure you are there for the kids. Never know what she would say or do . Good luck.
