My wife or my mother?

Question

i have serious problem here, there is a conflict between my mother and my wife. I don't have father, so both of them staying with me. My mother promised if i stay with my wife she will move from the house, similar to my wife, she don't want to see my mother at all, even we stay in the same house. I tried to advice both of them, but its not working. They hate each other because my mother believe that her mother sent "demon" to my sister and got possessed, but my wife defending her mother. What should i do?

Answer 1

Tell them your leaving.When they can get along, give you a call.

Or better yet,find another place for your mother to live.

Answer 2

you have your own family now, that is you, your wife, and your children.  

if your mom can not behave in your home,,,,,, she must move out!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Okay, there is no such a thing as demon, you mother needs to get over the fact that whatever happens happens with the willing of god. you should try to get couselling  for them both if they are that mentally disturbed, in the orginal life, a mother should stay out of the married couples home because it always causes issues. But then again, they need to talk it out and just get them to sit in the living room sit down togather and talk it out. good luck

its not ur mom OR. your wife. it should be both. but how long will ur mother think like that she needs to come to reality.. follow ur heart.

Answer 4

it's the same mistake with guys and they never learn... you can NEVER live with both your mom AND your wife. you live with you wife... your mom gets a place nearby.

your mother is wrong for making those kinds of accusations and hurting your wife. you should defend your wife. of course your wife is defending her mother... look at you defending your own!

Answer 5

If your mom actually thinks someone can send demons to possess someone, then you need to help Mom pack her bags and move out of the house, and into a nice hospital where doctors and nurses can help her work through her mental issues.

Your wife sounds right to be at the end of her rope with your mom.. afterall, Mom is acting a bit, well.. loony.

Your wife is your wife.. she is your family now. Mom is still going to be mom.. however she needs to be mom living somewhere else. You chose your wife to be the woman you married, and spend the rest of your life with. Mom didn't. So why should she get to choose if you to have your marriage or not now that she's apparently lost her senses?  

Answer 6

Your wife comes first in pretty much any situation.  If you are not prepared for that then you should never have made a choice to marry.  Your mother is living in your home (the home that belongs to yourself AND your wife) and she must respect your wife or move out.  

Answer 7

I actually like my mother-in-law, but if she were a screwball  that believed in demons and possession and blamed my relatives, well I'd never want to see her again.  Much less live with the old bat.  Why not foist your mother off on the "possessed" sister?  At least take your mother up on her promise.
