Ok, serious problem I have in my family and looking for advise.

In-laws...

Been dating my fiance for 13 years now, she suffers from bi-polar, depression, and Chrohns disease (clinically diagnosed). She is great when she takes her medication and the house is calm but the minute she gets near her family they convince her that she doesnt need the medications meaning that our house becomes crazy.

The mother-in-law is so up our butt that we cant wake up in the morning without non-stop calls starting at 7:30 in the morning to demand that the fiance drops everything planned to go to the mall or park, and then begins to play a guilt trip when I put my foot down saying that we have plans, getting the fiance all upset and angry at me. The mother-in-law constantly berates the fiance (her daughter) to the point that she gets sick from the stress and is hospitalized. (today makes the 3rd time this month). The hospital has threated to throw the mother-in-law out because she sits in the hospital and berates my fiance to no end, but they have never taken this step. Not being married, I can not limit people that visit her.

We bought a house out of state due to the fiances encouragement (already closed on it) just to get away and its gotten worse. Calls to Children services have stopped our ability to move away even though every acknowledges that the woman is wacky and that there is nothing wrong in our home. (waiting for court to approve the move). This will take months..

It is non stop harrassment. I hung up the phone one day on her and she called the cops claiming that I was holding my fiance prisoner. Obviously the police quickly realised that wasnt happening, but do I really need to continue to take this from her?

Leaving the fiance is not an option, I wouldnt leave someone who gets cancer, I wont leave them because they have a mental illness.

Anyone have any ideas on how the heii to get rid of your in-laws, especially one that is now allowing family members to get the medical care and treatment that is needed and makes people so sick that they need to be hospitalized.

No offense, but a 13 year engagement???? I mean, if you are determined to stay with this person, why not get married and get a restraining order against the meddling family members - case closed.

nope.. not case closed.. cant get married due to her illnesses and insurance. Minute we do, my insurance skyrockets..

p.s. dont think you can get a restraining order against an in-law, especially one that isnt doing physical harm.

Okay...but you do need legal remedy. I would consult an attorney. Perhaps your fiance needs to give you power of attorney so that when she is incapacitated by her illness you get to make all her medical decisions, including who can and can't see her.

And you CAN get a restraining order without someone doing physical harm first, the harrassment and false calls against you are enough - really, talk to a lawyer.

Common law marriages were deemed not legal around 2000 in our jurisdiction.

Well, that's too bad - but all the more reason to see a lawyer.

Who called Child Protective Services? Do you have children? What was the complaint about. I did not see this in your post.

I would call a lawyer but that will only go so far if your fiancee' is not agreeable to this type of remedy. Wouldn't you already have a lawyer if you are dealing with CPS??
