That's not nice and you know it. I think your double screwed now. Maybe you should just be patient and see if she contacts you back and forget about the sneaky stuff.

Hopefully everyone that knows your Grandma will know that at age 77 you probably already have everthing you need or want.\nI wouldn't put it in writing, but I would tell people just what you said, Grandma doesn't really want gifts, but she would love cash to enjoy herself at the casino.\nStart with family members & the word should get around in time for the party.\nIf she happens to get gifts, volunteer to take them allback for her. That would be nice.

Let her do as much as she is able to.  Explaining to her that she can't so something won't work.  People with dementia can't be reasoned with. \nDepending on what it is she's trying to do, you might just let her do it and then fix it later. Like if she's folding clothes wrong, or not washing the dishes good enough, or something easy like that.  As long as it doesn't put her in danger and it keeps her happy and relatively quiet.\nMy father eventually gives up on things when he realizes he can't do them anymore. He stopped driving on his own, he no longer tries to balance the checkbook.  Maybe this lady will do this also--you can hope!\nMaybe you can suggest that you do the things together and that she can "teach" you how to do it correctly, and actually you just do whatever it is.

What an idiot! We live in a sick society. Make certain your grandmother made a report with the police. Call all of her bank card issuers. Search close trash cans and bins as the sicko was probably after cash and cards. Get those cards cancelled ASAP. Don't forget the real meaning for the gathering. Remember the granddaughter and move on. The enemy is trying to have his way...

Sounds like granny has a sh**** outlook on life. If the baby goes visiting or YOU for that matter......bring out the Duck tape and secure your pants.\n\n\nSERIOUSLY.....get out while U CAN!

Okay.  Just add to the details next time, okay?\n\nShe fit the requirements.  Actually she fit both requirements.  She was in her seventies, and she had a mental illness.  62 or over, and disabled.  Everybody deserves to live somewhere.  Where would you suggest the mentally ill live?\n\nI'm sorry about your disability, but I don't think it's right of you to act as though you're "more disabled" than someone with a mental illness (it sounds like you just have very little understanding of mental illness).\n\nShe may "know what she's doing" and she may also be a stalker, but that doesn't mean she understands how wrong it is, and what the consequences are, so it's not like she can be arrested and convicted for it.  It's more likely the management couldn't do much about it than that they "covered it up".\n\nI'm getting your frustration, and if you get any more nudie neighbors, call management, but for now, be happy Old Lady Pullsupskirt is no longer your neighbor.

NOT TO BE HARSH BUT I GREW UP WITH A CRAZY LADY LIKE THAT(MY STEP GRANDMOTHER) SHE DROVE US ALL CRAZY RIGHT ALONG WITH HER DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN TO YOU.IF SHE IS ACTING THIS CRAZY I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE IS NOT LOCKED UP . WHEN MY STEP GRANDMOTHER WOULD GO NUTS THEY WOULD DO AN EMERGENCY LOCK UP AND SHE HAD TO GO AGAINST HER WILL. I WOULD CONTACT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OR A MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC OR LAWYER  AND SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO HAVE HER COMMENTED FOR YOURS AND HER OWN SAFETY.WHEN THEY DO AN EMERGENCY LOCK UP IT IS NOT HER CHOICE TO GO BUT THE JUDGES COURT ORDERS OR THEY DO IT BY PSYCHIATRIST WORD AND SHE HAS TO GO.PLEASE LOOK IN TO IT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS IN YOUR STATE.IF YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE HER WAIT UNTIL SHE IS LOCKED UP OR BETTER SO SHE WON'T HURT OR KILL HER SELF!JUST REMEMBER SHE IS SICK AND CAN NOT HELP WHAT SHE IS DOING SO THINK IT OVER LONG AND HARD BEFORE YOU LEAVE HER SHE NEEDS LOVE AND SUPPORT TO GET BETTER! IF THEY LOCK HER UP PLEASE GO AND SEE HER! YOU GUYS ARE IN MY PRAYERS AND GOOD LUCK!

My mother lives in a small country town, and my grandmother is in the hospital, permanently, just down the road. Mum walks down to see my gran every day, with her 2 small dogs. A few months ago, mum went to see gran as usual, but this time, she took a box of DOG chocolates with her. She left them in my grans room, so they would be there for the next visits with the dogs.\nThe next day, mum walks down to see gran again. goes to the draw to give the dogs their chocolate treat, and the whole box was empty.\nMy mum asked what happened to them. My gran answered, I ate them last night and they were so good, I shared them all around with the medical staff.\nSo, Mothers day just gone, I sent gran an arrangement of flowers, and attached a box of DOG chocolates to it for her. She rang me and thanked me, and said, Im never going to live this down, am I?\nTrue story!!!!

If this woman is talking to you in a way that makes you feel like crap, then I think you have already answered your own question.  What do you mean by your last sentence, "Should I try to end the relationship?"  Do you somehow feel like she has started to end it & you want to finish it BEFORE she does?  If so, then do it, because nothing is worse than a person who feels the need to on-up the other in a "dumpee/dumper" situation.  You can get another woman, but you'll never get another Grandmother.  If you gave your word to your Family first, then you will be doing yourself a dis-service by going back on your word.  Your word is your bond.  If this woman (or any other) can't relate to what & who you are, then you gotta ask yourself WHY you are staying with this person.  If it's for her cash, then that will only make you feel like a bigger jerk.  Money does factor into it, but you gotta go with granny.  After she dies, you'll be able to live with yourself because you did what was right.  No woman or man should ever get in the way of family.  This shows lack of compassion. What will happen if you get sick or injured someday?  Will she leave you, or stick by you,  & help you?  Why not ask her these questions & see how she answers you!  I don't need the points, but I did feel the need to get my thoughts on this matter in print for others to read.  Many families are facing similar issues because rest homes are expensive & they treat patients poorly.  You aren't alone in taking on this massive endeavor.  By the way, you have taken on the role of caregiver, which is traditionally a womans job.  As a result, your woman now has stepped into a male role, being the breadwinner & working outside the home.  Don't sell yourself short for staying home & being a caregiver because it is a very important role that most of American Society overlooks & ignores.  Your parents taught you well & the world needs more people who have morals & values when it comes to aging people.  Don't be so proud as to not ask for help if you feel you need it from an outside agency.  Good luck!
