[quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel that most of these posters are being extremely unfair to you.

If this situation were reversed and it were a DH taking care of a bitchy, aging and difficult MIL who has the resources but chooses to monopolize her son to the detriment of her son's marriage and family life, you know [b]you would all be crucifying the MIL and the DH for not cleaving and leaving[/b]

This is not an issue of FIL needing his daughter's help.  This is FIL fulfulling his sick need to control and monopolize his daughter without regard to her well being.  It is damaging OP and OP's marriage, OP's prospects for starting a family, and is entirely inappropriate.

If OP were the DW, you would all be telling her to have a come-to-Jesus talk with the DH under the control of his mom, and then to tell her to leave him.

Under these circumstances that OP describes, I'm not sure that it's inappropriate of him to demand that his wife set better boundaries with her father.

She needs to reevaluate, OP.[/quote]
