Hello I have a situation here that I do not know how to handle.

I married my wife back in July and we had out daughter in August. I didnt marry her because she was pregnat but I did it because I love her very much.
Thing is her mother came down from Wichita Ks to see the beby but she left and my wife and child left with her..They told me she would come back in about a month or so. Well its November and still no wife here or child....Now I went up there in October because my wife wanted me to be with her and so forth so I went only to be run off by her mother. My wife told me she was comming back with me the night before I left but the next day her mother told me that my wife was not comming back with me.
Now I know that my wife wants to be with me, I hear it in her voice when I talk to her on the phone but her mother is so say "holding her and my daughter hostage"
I belive that her mother has threatened her in some way that she's scared to come back...I do not know why her mother hates me so much, I barely know the woman and I have done nothing to her or daughter (My wife). Can someone please help me here with some recomendations or insight please.

Thank you.

HI Joey,
Maybe you could tell us a little more information to help is figure out WHY your MIL would keep your W and Child from you..and to give you GOOD advice...

I'm guessing here... was there drug abuse or drinking or abuse.. of any kind? (no offense intended if not..)

Don't worry... we'll never meet so tell us the truth...

Or... are you both very young and/or dod you marry without her families consent?

Fill us in.... THANKS AND GOOD LUCK.... FRANK

Joey, there is way too little background information to be able to offer much advice, or even opinions.

You need to tell us more about your entire relationship with your wife. For example, you said " have done nothing to her or daughter," but you left out that if the child is yours, you "Got her PG" while you NOT married. Kudos on the marriage, but I suspect that there is a lot more going on here and her mother thinks she is "protecting" her daughter from you in some way. That's what we need to understand before being able to offer much in the way of comments that might be helpful to you.

In the meantime, it sounds like you are both rather young, so you need to understand this, as well as your wife,....for better or for worse, you ARE married. Mom has to "butt out," and you both need to choose the marriage and each other over family, if that is what is needed.

Still, the background is sorely needed to be more helpful.

God bless.
