Your Mum is in a very tough place and it sounds like Grandad is making it harder. It is very hard for him to do this gracefully but the toll on your Mom may be even harder. You may be able to give her permission to reduce her burden, some people just need that. She may be thinking of herself as a model for you,... people need to have reasonable expectations for one another. I'm trying to impart that on my girls without the unhealthy dose of martyrdom my family is known for.
