@ grandmother
I've seen more grandmothers that are more activie than mothers. Maciamo, I think you're wife's situation was probably from the start opposed too. In a sense, I bet, she cut her relations with your wife (en wo kiru) then when she came back (I'm guessing here) she brought a gaijin husband that put the virtual nail in the coffin. She might come around once you have children. (I hope that I didn't make a mistake about your information, I'm guessing alot here.)
Well, that was a wrong guess. The realtionship between my wife and her grandmother has always been like that (not since we are together). She told me it was even worse when she was a child. She didn't cut her relationship with my wife as we see each other everyday (me and the grandmother too !). The marriage hasn't been opposed but rather pushed by the grandmother as a condition to live together (kind of old-fashioned mentality that even my grandparents wouldn't think about nowadays). So, she is naturally authoritarian and sadist. My wife accepts her situation as normal because of the seniority system.
