An acquaintaince of mine, has landed in a peculair problem. After a bitter divorce battle with his first wife, who did not understand him as a husband or father. She suspected her own husband listening to her father and mother, who were utmost greedy because of her steady income. The in-laws went to the extent of stealing money from the business he was running. When they got caught red handed, they started a rumour that the son-in-law was having an affair with the secretary. Ultimately being the only son to his ailing parents, who had a huge property base, decided enough is enough. He packed up his bag and baggage and took his two children along with him. He told his ex wife to pack up and take a transfer and leave along with him. His wife under the tutlage of her parents decided to lodge a police complaint for kidnapping the children, who refused to stay back with mother.

In the ensuing drama the cops arrested the husband and children and jailed them for no solid reason. Luckily he was rescued by his helping neighbour who bailed him out. I was away from the place and could not help him. The drama unravelled by the in-laws was a cruel pot boiler, which included black magic against the son in law. My friend had to face the fury of the black magic, he fell from his bike 3 times in during the day time. He resorted to firm prayers and decided to file for divorce, which was granted in 4 years time with substantial expense. The judge realised that the wife was stupid not to live with her husband and she chose to live with her greedy parents.

I tried my best to negotitate reconciliation in the initial stage, but on her own she agreed to think over and rejoin her husband, but her parents being greedy poisoned her mind stating that her husband will ill-treat her. Better take possession of one of the son and let him keep possession of the other son. Both the sons hate the in-laws so much they are ready to undertake voilence physically.

Under the above circumstance after divorce, the eldest sons education is getting affected due to frequent interference from his mother. She wanted to meet him in the school, wherein the eldest son got violent and wanted to stone his mother to death, such was the fury, because of the bitter impression created in his mind, maybe because of jail experience. The sons are rebellious. They refuse to even see her. It has been a constant battle.

Now the son has joined a professional college, friend has re-married and is in the process of becoming a father, but the ghost of the past is still haunting him. Maybe now the mother may have reformed to some extent, only god knows. But the son's career or education is under stake. If she once again comes back the son may totally loose track of his sense and interest in studies. He had a humiliating experience in school times, now after spending huge amount of money on donation and fees, the ghost from the past seems to haunting him once again. The names of the character and place is deliberately with held for want of privacy and confidentiality.


Any suggestions from mature Msians how to handle the issue delicately so that it does not boomrang further creating once again stress to the son and father, who had struggled for the past 7 years. This is one of the rarest true life example of how a happy family is destroyed by the girls own parents for sake of money. I can vouch for my friends love for his ex wife and children. But it is too late for a re-union.
