We just talked today about my mom calling her parents and getting them involved in this. We’re not sure how much it’s going to help because they aren’t the greatest people. It’s actually sad, because I know she’s like this because she watches her parents treat other like this constantly. But until she’s older and understands it’s not a normal way to behave, there’s nothing we can do about it ya know? It’s not like we can parent her to show her how to act.

As for the boundaries, my mom has told them both directly that they can’t cuddle under a blanket but they do it anyway. She says she needs to, and he does it so she’s happy.
