Find Care & Housing
Just read your profile. You say that you are caring for your MIL. You have four children ages 6 through 18. I certainly hope that this woman isn’t living in your home.

Regardless of whether your mother in law has dementia or not, your children don’t deserve to be mistreated by her.

Your older children may be old enough to comprehend that their grandmother has a disease, but the younger ones won’t understand it. None of them should have to put up with this kind of behavior. Frankly, nor should you.

Are you her primary caregiver? I am sorry that you are in this situation. Step away from being her caregiver if this has become too much for you to handle.

What does your husband say about how the children are affected by his mom’s behavior?

Wishing you and your family all the best.
