My best friend (30+) is a single mom raising twins and her mother is helping with looking after children as the mother is working her ass off to support all four of them.

In the last years the grandmother(60+) has turned absolutely horrible to my friend: blaming her and her children for her own shitty life. To the point of telling her she’s the direct fault of her health problems and when she dies my friend can only blame herself.

I have known both of them since almost 20 years and I believe this behavior is purely compounding stress without ability to take a break.

I love those children like my own, but damn, neither of them four are having a good life.
