[quote=Anonymous]Definitely do not move her in. Insist on couple's counseling. If he is more alied with his mother than with his wife and is not taking your feelings into account this is a MUST because otherwise your marriage is in danger. Having an elder move in can strain even the healthy unions. Make sure the therapist is highly savvy to sandwich generation issues and aging issues. her behavior will not improve once she is in your home for good and your husband needs to understand what aging can truly look like. If he refuses therapy, I would go into therapy yourself to figure out your own boundaries with all this and to explore if there are other areas of your marriage where you are completely disrespected. Do you always visit with him? If so, I would negotiate having him do some visits on his own.[/quote]
