Does she call and talk to your wife for a couple of hours? Does she text your wife a lot?
If her interest in you is more than her interest in her daughter, you have your answer.
Even if you are wrong....you can still ignore her. If she's really troubled about something, she needs to look elsewhere. You aren't the best source of help for her.
She used to text and call her daughter every week but that stopped. Lately I've been talking to her in person and she's progressed to calling me. But this is a new thing.

She would tell my DH and kids terrible (and untrue) things about me. They knew her well enough not to listen to her, to leave the room when she started her nastiness. She fell and broke her hip and we had to take her in - and we threw her out the day she walked up behind my husband, shoved her hands down into his pants, and said "You know I'd be much better for you than her (meaning me), right?" - right in front of our teenage daughter!
She then moved in with my brother, who called me freaking out one morning. She had crawled into their bed at night, over his wife and started molesting him! It wasn't altzheimer's or dementia - she not only remembered the incidents, she couldn't understand why the men (DH and my brother) weren't flattered by them!
Make sure that your wife knows everything inappropriate that is said or done, and make danged sure there is always a witness around. NEVER be alone with her... if she feels 'rejected' by you, then that will only be the start of the real trouble.
To SCGranny OMG!
To JUDE999,
Read above comments to see what could happen in the future. It's not a pretty picture.
I suspect that she may be one of those women that think that Men are dumb and after only one thing.
So she throws out the bait, spreads her legs a little, and waits to see if you bite.
If one kind of bait doesn't work, she'll try another.....like," pity poor me, my husband doesn't understand me"
I imagine that her attention is a little flattering. Just don't let your reponse lead her on.
What did you mean by not letting my response lead her on?
Her attention can sometimes border on flattering but then ventures into uncomfortable pretty fast.
I think you're right that this could be bait. Then again so could've following me around while working out in the yard, baking me a pie and taking then sending a pic of me to her daughter with the caption "big hunk". Can anyone see the dilemma here, or am I just over analyzing it?
Why would a mother do such a hurtful thing to her daughter? *baffled*
I don't think I'd bring it up to either of them. It would cause SO much drama between them.
I think I would just give her dirty looks every time she flirted and the cold shoulder.
