This is about family who lost their mother.

The story started like this. A man got married to an only daughter with four boys. The lady happened to be the first child. As at the time the girl got married things were no longer the same with the family, her siblings were quitted from their apartment since they could no longer pay the rent. So their mother now went to live with her uncle with one of her sons, others went to other places.

After some months the mother left their uncle place to stay with her daughter which was accepted by both husband and wife. Things got bad when 2 siblings of this lady who were not behaving normal(one often get drunk, while the other is not mentally ok) started coming disturb this lady and her family. Most times at 12 mid night the one that is not mentally ok would come banging at the gate of this lady and her husband, at times he would fight with the husband to the extent that the mental boy almost push the man of the house from the balcony.

Unfortunately the mother had stroke, the first son and the husband rally round she became well. This period the mother of the urinates every where in the apartment even in the kitchen. So the husband had to warn her to try her best not to wee around, that if she is in the sitting room, she should make sure she sits on a plastic chair not on the sofa.

On this faithful day the mother -in-law, wee on the sofa. When the man came back from work, his children told him that grandma has urinated on the sofa, this man got angry and gave her a slap, while she was walking to her room she fell down and the stroke came back.

They tried several people who claimed that could cure stroke to no avail. Sad to say that this woman died after 2 years of the stroke. People are advising the lady to leave the husband that he is responsible for the death of her mother. Others are saying if the man should travel with the wife for the burial, they might harm him, that the man should not bother going.

This is a very hard nut to crack, please advise, suggestion and whatever would be appreciated.

Would he have slapped HIS OWN Mother if she peed on his sofa?

The harm has been done already...

Well for his own safety, he shouldnt travel for the burial cause one way or the other he had a hand in her death...

Then, I wouldnt advice the lady to leave him but a man that can slap an old woman who suffered stroke can do anything

Kuli-kuli wey dey inside garri better pass groundnut wey dey market.

The deed is done already. There's no need explaining to your wife's family because it will only open up a can of worms. However, you need to have a heart to heart discussion with your wife and that involves sincere apology and explanations. If she's by your side, you'll have a smoother ride out of this. Just forget about going for the burial.
