I think, regardless of the relationship between you and this person, that if they are unhealthy for you, you need to decide what you can and are willing to tolerate from them.

Being attached to the children is difficult and if you would like to continue having a relationship with them then you will need to set some boundaries for the relationship with their caretakers. This could be difficult because if you set the boundaries, there's no saying if this person will adhere to them. But, this is the best way I know of to keep your relationship with the children and distance yourself from this unhealthy person.

Boundaries are the name of the game. If you are going to set them, be consistent, otherwise it will only cause more distress in the relationship.

If you ever feel like sharing more, we're here for you.
