We got married some years back. I was already a well paid professional in Europe and

We got married some years back. I was already a well paid professional in Europe and my future wife(PG Degree) (USA)was nowhere(which I did not know before marriage) taking care of her alcoholic father and sick mother.She already had a big federal lawn on her head(which I did not know either before marriage)and without a decent job waiting to get board certified to get into her field.

After our marriage I came to USA and found out everything. She also had her mother and father staying with us(we lived in her mothers house). I agreed to that because she told me that her mother is ill and she cannot leave her with her alcoholic father But I was kind enough and said we have to work hard to start our life. I could not move out because I could not work immediately (immigration laws) and my wife did not have a decent job.

She had a brother who wisely moved out with his wife knowing his alcoholic father and a jealous mother. He was never concerned about his parents or sister.

After sometime I started understanding her mother(authoritative, jealous) and her father (alcoholic & jealous) & her brother 9selfish).

Her brother was already having marital problems with his wife and had restraining orders for 2 weeks.

When I understood all these I told my wife that we have to find a full time job and move out as soon as possible. But she was not ready to move out leaving her ill mother alone with her father(who used to stay in and out at home for some months only).

We also had difficulty to find a good job in this difficult times.

Whenever I had some verbal argument with my mother-in-law , she will call the police and tell them that I am ill treating her. Police will come and scold me and go(morally this was hard for me)... I am a highly educated decent man who never gets in to any argument with anybody till after marriage because of the environment.

She wanted me & her daughter to move out and threatened us , she will call the police if we do not move out,. trying to control us on fear!
She will tell also(paradoxical) that she will not let us in in the future if we move out & she will change the lock of the house & post box.

Now I do not know what to do... we cannot move out because our income does not allow it and at the same time my MIL & BIL are active in getting us out of her home.

Please help![/B][/I][/I][/I][/B]

What type of advice are you looking for? Do you want to divorce your wife? I don't understand what it is that you are seeking.

If this situation is causing you to act out of character - you never argued before, you argue now - then you need to end the situation whatever that means, whatever that takes.

So you move out somewhere cheaper,

Next did you even meet her before you got married

In other words, you and your wife will be homeless if your mother in law boots you both out.

This is putting a tremendous strain on you, but particularly your wife. Obviously she is torn with her loyalties.

It would probably be a good idea for you to not get involved with arguments with her family until you can move, either with, or without your wife.

Ideally, you will have a work permit soon, and you and your wife can live perhaps nearby, so she can check on her parents.

If your mother in law decides to go through with her threat to change the loc of the house and the post box, then I guess she can take care of her medical needs as well.

Until such time as you can provide for yourself, and your wife, (hopefully together), I cannot see from what you have written, that you have any other options.

Of course I met her before marriage... but for a brief period... nothing was divulged!

What can I do about her calling the police with lies each time we get into an argument?

FrChuck brought up a good point - what is a "brief period"?

We get questions all the time about international dating sites - is that how you met your wife?

She is a senior citizen woman which is a government protected category.(elder abuse... even if I do not abuse her... I am just trying to live my life with my wife)

There is little you can do... other than move out.

Have the Police pressed charges against any of you? I see that coming next!

No... I met her in my native country shortly... then in USA for few weeks... then through chat , email & phone for 2 years before getting married.

No... the police will come and will tell us... "if you have nothing good to say somebody .............do not say anything"... but she is using the police call to intimidate us.

What do you mean nothing was divulged? Did you two not talk before you married?

Did you find out before or after you married her?

What does this have to do with your situation?

You said it yourself, you're "highly educated" and you can't get a job in today's market, but you're upset because she doesn't have one?

You were kind enough to allow her mother and father to live with you?

Um no, they were kind enough to allow you to live with them and you don't sound at all grateful.

Now her mother wants you out so you don't have to be kind anymore, you can leave, get your own place.

You seem to be a bit high on yourself, you're talking like you're this prince of a guy that made all of these sacrifices for the woman you loved.

She mad sacrifices too, as did her parents.

Get off you high horse, get a job, move out and work on your marriage.

Again - move out! There is simply nothing else to be said.

Her mother and father live with you in THEIR house? What? Don't you live with them?

Eventually the Police will get tired of the calls and someone will be charged - hopefully, not you (but I wouldn't count on it).

Altenweg... I understand why you are with pets!

You do not get my point... What I meant is a MIL who allows you to stay with her does not threaten the same with police!! Highly educated means I am usually a more reasonable person and does not interfere with anybody else's life... like my MIL do?

I am talking about the alcoholic father and her virtually divorced parents... staying together for financial benefits!!

Thank you Judy KAY tee, Father Chuck & Jake...

What If she calls the police to get us out... I am lost!

Hello

All she has to do is evict you.

If she calls the police and they force you out then you leave. You are a guest in her home. If she convinces the police that you're a threat to her then they can force you to leave.

As for my other post, it was based on what you said.

You seem to think that you have some right to stay there even though the owner of the home wants you out. You do have some rights, but once she formally evicts you, which is all she has to do, you'll have 30 days to pack your bags and leave.

Calling the police is another option, she can get you out faster that way and seeing as there are numerous calls already made to the police, I'm sure she can convince them that you're a threat, even if you aren't.

Find someplace else to live and move out asap. That's really you only option.

You are insulting. Your post thanking some people who responded with information to your liking and ignoring those who took a lot of time but posted advice not to your liking is juvenile.

Apparently you are taking out your hostility on this Board instead of the people who deserve it - which I think you take to include your in laws.

If you don't want to be threatened with the Police MOVE OUT! I don't know how many times "we" can say it. There is no other choice.

So get off your highly educated arse and get a job which will allow you to pay ALL of your own living expenses and stop blaming other people for your failures.
