Should I cut off toxic, negative parents and grandma to protect my kids?

[Anonymous]

So I moved out my families house 2 months ago because they were so toxic and since moving out nothing has changed as in when I would call to let my kids speak to my grandma and mom it would always be them complaining about the bills can't get paid , no food to eat, sickness, or someone else's drama there telling me about. Last weekend I had to pull back because my grandma was trying to control my kids in how I raise them and my home ! I was giving her the benefit of the doubt by letting her speak to my kids weekly , but every conversation we would have would be negative or controlling! Should I cut her off? Last conversation I told her it would be a while before I called her and I know the holidays are coming up we have no plans of visiting...

I was staying with my parents after college to help them as they were sick ( My other sisters weren't going to do it ) , but had to leave because their health was impacting my health and finances.. my grandma hasn't gotten a home health nurse yet ( She's blind and disabled) .. she refuses to help herself

You have to care for your own mental health, finances, and protect your kids.

You have to do whatever is best for your kids so if that is what is best, it is what you must do. Maybe it will be a wake up call for them.
