My wife is from the Ukraine. We have been married six years with two beautiful children. We were quite happy before. We went everywhere together. Then when my wife became a citizen, she insisted on inviting her mother to live with us permanently. She is widowed and can't speak English. This has become a very challenging living arrangement for the past six months which has led to threats of divorce from my wife including demanding that I leave the house (my clothes on the lawn) since I have frequently complained that my time with her anymore is minor. My wife spends most of her free time with her Mom. They prefer to be by themselves without kids shopping or whatever. They prefer not to tell me where they go or when they will come back. Her reason is that I want to control her, not true. The kids stay with me. Over the months of this my kids now prefer me to them which they hate me for. Its my problem they say. My wife an I have had perhaps two hours alone away from the house without the children, Though my wife and her mother spend days together without anyone else. Her mother needs her more my wife says. I do not understand Russian well at all. Help! Anyone have some creative ideas for me? My wife no longer goes to church with the kids and I since her Mon is not interested. She is not interested in counseling. My idea to find Mom a male friend has not worked out yet, internet dating style only so far. Ideas?
