Okay, so APS (adult protective services) followed up with me.
So, it seems everything is hunky-dory to the investigator.
My mother has all but completely isolated my grandmother from peers and family, won't let her talk on the phone without the speaker phone on, multiple relatives have been witness to violence between the two of them.
But, oh well, nothing anyone can do about it.
I'm out. I'm done. I've told them to stay away and leave me alone indefinitely. Any violation of that request will end in an order of protection being filed by me.
Near 30 years of teh crazy from my family... no thanks, I'm getting off this ride... they want to abuse each other and live in hell, fine, so be it. I've begged them to stop. I've tried to change things, but I'm DONE.
I want to live in relative peace with the family I've created. It isn't perfect, but it's a helluvalot better than either my husband or I had growing up. And I'm not going to risk that for people determined to be miserable and pass on misery.
