My 60 year old uncle is known to be verbally abusive and violent with his wife, child and mother (my grandmom) who are living with him. He has also never maintained good relations with his only sister (my mother) who is living in a different city. Many times, based on his moods, he would not allow my mother to talk or visit my grandmom. This past many months, close to a year this, this not allowing has persisted. Also, he has not been talking to my grandmom this past many mom. My grandmom, closing to 90YO, is living in this hostile environment, where her own son whom she is living with in the same house, is not talking to her, and her daughter is not allowed to talk her. All this is extremely stressful one her frail ageing self.
My mom has no way to contact my grandmom other than contacting the phone of my uncle, his wife's or is daughter's, none of whom cordially allow the conversation. So sometimes, since I live in the same city as my uncle, I visit my grandmom, and make a video call with my mom. Now he has sent a message to my dad that even that is no more allowed and he wants to cut all ties. But this is not the desire of my grandmom.
My grandmom is traditional. Since she is closing in on 90 YO, she wishes to stay with her son during her passing. She wishes to visit my mom a couple of months a year though, whcich now my uncle is not allowing saying my grandmom might spread that he is not taking care of her well.
In all, this a toxic family setup stuck in convoluted traditional mindset and abusive uncle. The fundamental issue is my absuive, fear mongering uncle. Is there any legal appraoches where my grandmom is made to willignly leve her last years with my parents, away from the toxicity of my uncle? Or is there a legal way where my uncle's non allowance is made not possible and legally he should allow my mom and grandmom to visit and interact daily?
