  • I would consider getting a restraining order against them.

  • Don't go near them. The drs office should NOT be sharing any information with them AT ALL that's against HIPPA (fed. regulations).

  • where is dad in all this? If he is around, have you tried talking to him about it? When they come over just dont answer. Tell them kindly through the door, over the phone that they did not call before showing up and that you are spending quality time with your child. Or you can just not answer at all. Write them a letter explaining how you feel. This way it you are not able to get to mad because they will not be inturupting you. Just a thought.

  • It's time to have a sit down chat whit them about appropriate grandparent behavior & threats. They are NOT the child parents, they have NO legal right to talk to your child's doctor - your doc can not legal talk to them about your child!! Honestly I can't understand half of what you say here due to the lack of punctuation, but maybe you should also go have a talk with the police officer they are "friends" with. Tell the cop that they are using him as a threat, I am sure he will NOT be pleased about that!!

  • Sounds pretty serious. I'd move. Go interstate or even overseas, if that's an option. Just get the hell out of there. Then they don't have a choice of being so damned interfering. They're not respecting you, so they've already given up any "rights" they have to be part of you or your child's life. I'd just leave.

  • sounds like u need to just keep away from them. Make sure ur dr office knows they dont have permission for them to tell anyone anything under federal law, and u should just stop answering the door!

  • People like that are toxic and you really do just need to cut them out of your life. I can say this without any question - my MIL is toxic as well.
