Phillipa,
How would you be able to even keep that commitment with what your own life demands? Along with the term emotional blackmail, I am struck by the either/or presentation. Either watch your granddaughter full or zip. That type of proposition sets up everyone for failure. Would she consider a counteroffer from you? I'm so sorry Phillipa. Sounds like
your daughter is difficult to have a relationship with. This isn't commenting on the distress you feel standing by while Your grandbaby is yelled at. I can see why this one situation is triggering you--it's quite thorny. :(Hugs to you.
