Some background, my mom is my son’s primary caregiver while I’ve been working from home due to COVID. I can’t believe I’m even posting this. I was walking with my mom and baby in stroller down a street, we were on a sidewalk. We got into a heated discussion about current events, and the conversation escalated. At no point did either of us raise our voice, however.
At one point she became so upset by what she was saying that she abruptly pushed the stroller forward and let go—I grabbed it immediately and was livid. I told her to go home and I walked away. She’s now love bombing me via text and begging to see her grandson again.
I don’t really feel like she understands the seriousness of her actions and that she disregarded his safety—for example the stroller could have lost control and gone into the street. I’ve tried to address that with her via text but she thinks I am overreacting and that she “would never hurt him.” Basically do I let her into my son’s life and under what circumstances? I’m just not okay with this. That being said, she adores my son and has always taken great care of him. So this has me reeling.
Tl;dr : mom pushed my sons stroller forward aggressively out of anger, says it was a mistake and wants to see my son. Do I find a way to move past this?
