based on the sodium level one can tell.. easy.. you don't even need to be a doctor you just need to read.

NaBanga:
No doctor can confirm that without seeing it with his own eyes. I know what I am saying. This is a lie. Nigerians are ignorant and the quack doctor knows this.

Beremx:
Your wife has asked for forgiveness. What else do you want?

Waiting for misogynistic people like Kris’s.216 to come advice you to divorce your wife

Lol what made her deliberately do wrong in the first instance?

She will still repeat another silly act.
It's just like giving your life to Christ and sinning again cos you know you will ask God for forgiveness again.

While others are celebrating the new year today I am here sobbing because my marriage is at the verge of breaking.

I loved my wife with all my heart but I don't think I will ever forgive her for what she has done to my mother.

I am the only child of my mother. I have three sisters on my father's side.
I am married with two beautiful daughters. my mother suffered from diabetes, bp and high cholesterol. She is on a special diets strictly no salt or too much sugar.

She came to stay with me because the person who was taking care of her wasn't doing her job properly so I had to bring her to my house so I will be monitoring her health.

I have a house help who prepares all her meals with less salt and she also makes sure she takes her medicines on time without fail.
Everything was fine, my mother is not a troublesome person, she gets on well with my wife and most of the time she is in her room resting.

On the 20th of December my house help had traveled to the village to see her people and she will be back in January 4th so my wife and I have to take care of my mother making sure that her foods is less salty and medicines on time.

Since I am always working so my wife had to take most of the responsibility. It is only for a week and fews days until the house help is back.

She had agreed to take care of my mother during this periods of time and I thought everything was fine but I noticed my mother become distant and tired unlike her and I had no idea that she was actually dying and I have never suspected that my wife was maltreating her.

So Thursday being 30th December I was at work when my wife called and asked me to join her at the hospital because mama had a seizure.

I rushed to the hospital and my mother was in a coma state and I asked her what happened to mama, she said mama woke up that morning complaining about shortage of breath and she told her to go back to bed and rest hoping she will be fine by the time she will wake up.
Only for mama to fall off the ground and started shaking with foam coming out of her mouth.

I was in panicked I couldn't stop praying for my mother to get better and I didn't leave the hospital, my wife went home to take care of the children because she has left them with the neighbour and I had spend all night prayer vigil at my mother's bedside and glory be to God my mother woke up yesterday being 31st but the doctor report was not a good news for me.

Actually my mother was poisoned with salt and guess who did it? My beloved wife couldn't bothered to cook a different meal for my mother, she used to feed her the same meal we ate knowing full well that mama cannot eat the same foods as us because we are salt lovers, especially my wife, she love eating too much salt which I have warned her over and over again because it is also not good for her health.

I confronted her, she said she only fed mama the same meals we ate twice only but according to the doctor it was more than two times.

I am hurt that my wife doesnt love my mother or treat her like her own mother because if she truly loved her like her own mother she would have put her diet on consideration and not allow her to eat the same meal as us. I love her mother and u treat her like my own mother.

It pains me a lot when I remember five years ago when her mother was in coma state and she was staying with her at the hospital, she is her only daughter amongst three boys.

I used to visit them everyday after work, I will bring foods and I have even washed her mother clothes with my own hands, I have done with love because she is my mother. I called my mother in law this morning and I have informed her about what her daughter has done to my mother and she couldn't stop apologising and she is very disappointed with my wife.

But see how she has repaid me by hurting my own mother.

She has apologised to me and to my mother, I have forgave her but I don't think I can stay with her again because one day if I become sick or bedridden she might treat me the same way.

Honestly speaking I am not even at home with her and the kids, I am at my cousin brother's house since yesterday I left the hospital and my mother is still in the hospital because she needs more treatment and hopefully she will recover by next week.

I don't feel like going home today and I don't know when I'll go home but I will always be there for my girls because they are the best thing that ever happened to me.

What other advice would you give me on this situation? What are your thoughts? Thank you for reading all I love this community.

Is your mom so old she can't cook her own meals or couldn't refuse salted meal??
You and your wife are both workers, how do you expect her to prepare two meals at once
Smh na marry she marry you, she no commit capital crime abeg

Pls Mr. Man, don't mind all these people here saying "forgive her" "leave her in God's hands". Ur wife has accidentally shown u who she trusly is. Pls don't unsee it. Life she cares not for things u hold dear. U re right in what u said."[b][/b]if u become sick or bedridden, she will treat u same way. She has no compassion in her, that a grounds for divorce as d scales has fallen of ur eyes.

soundOsonic:
You haven't forgiven her, if at all you have you wouldn't be here posting this.
The only problem I saw here was lack of proper education from your wife.
Now sir, reason this: if she actually knew feeding her salt will lead to this; would she have fed her?
She was only careless and didn't take her diabetes serious.
She acknowledged her mistake and she had apologized already. I know this trying time is enough to pass blame, but blaming her wouldn't make the matter better or worse.

It was a silly mistake, even doctors makes mistakes, you too make mistakes, she had learnt. Go back to your house and clear it from your chest and celebrate the new year with your family.
Happy New year

The wife was only lazy and took her sickness for granted. This is the most logical explanation. It is still thesame reason why you poison yourselves taking alcohol, soft drinks, and food rich in oil and fats, though you are conscious of this fact this things are not good for you yet you take them, this is because you are not taking your health serious and you haven't seen with your eyes the implications what this things can cause.
The woman was conscious of the fact this things are not good, but she took it lightly because she haven't seen in first hand the implications.
I myself haven't seen first hand the implications of diabetics. I would have made same mistake due to laziness.

Accept our heart felt condolences. It will make things infinitely more complicated for your wife and family. No one will ever know believe your wife did not kill your mother intentionally. In Africa where even death by car crash death is blamed on the wife, not to talk of as a result of food prepared by her.

Demand a detailed autopsy and toxicology report to ascertain the exact cause of death.

I pray you can heal from this one way or the other.

Oh my, this one will be hard to recover from, and that woman will live with the torture of this for the rest of her days.
She may never hear the last of this.

Obviously, i dont doubt your story. If i read a sincere story I'd know, this time your story is so real because i can fully relate with it, due to personal experiences.

I am still wondering why women would behave like saints when in courtship but release the mindless Demons in them in marriage, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY GIVE U KIDS, WORST WHEN THEY HAVE SONS!

Just why are Good men ending up with very wicked unappreciative women as wives?!!!!

Well, pls forgive her but assert yourself more as the man of the house.

Also, be careful!

oilmane:
I don't think your wife your wife will do this if she knew it will cause your mum to land at the hospital, she will be going through a lot of emotional torture and she must be remorseful at the moment, please try to forgive her and purge yourself of this hatred that is creeping into you. I pray mama gets back on her feet soonest.

It’s called willful negligence. I’m not sure about the criminal status in Nigeria but it is definitely a crime in many other countries. I commented about that here: https://www.nairaland.com/6920184/when-men-learn-nigerian-women#109012565

girlygirlyMain:
^{You should have cooked the meals yourself since she is your mother.
Your wife has a lot at hand with your children and herself... women are not robots.
You should be considerate and DO SOME OF THE WORK YOURSELF!!}

But they can spend Oga's money robotically!

You brought your matter here for teenagers who troll on Nairaland to help you delibrate on. The advice you want to hear, you will kuku hear.

This is the best time you need your wife. What if your househelp doesn't come back, can you solely take care of your mother yourself?

You didn't go home because you are angry, shey if your mother is discharged to go home, I hope you won't expect your wife to continue taking care of her, while you're wallowing in anger at your cousins place.

Its obvious she didn't do it deliberately, and you think its easy to take care of children, a husband and an ailing mother inlaw.

Oga, the earlier you don't drown in her flaws, the better for you, for the future.

HarunaWest:
This same wife has been in the same house with the old woman. This woman is well aware thag Mama us on strict diet plan. Mama was being taken care of by a maid and no issues. This same woman has admitted to adding salt to the meal. I see all as deliberate. If i was in his position, Forgiveness would be a Sin. I don't joke with my mother.

You made very strong points here. It’s called willful negligence and it’s definitely a crime in many countries, I’m not sure about how it’s treated in Nigeria.

I rushed to the hospital and my mother was in a coma state and I asked her what happened to mama, she said mama woke up that morning complaining about shortage of breath and she told her to go back to bed and rest hoping she will be fine by the time she will wake up.
Only for mama to fall off the ground and started shaking with foam coming out of her mouth.

I was in panicked I couldn't stop praying for my mother to get better and I didn't leave the hospital, my wife went home to take care of the children because she has left them with the neighbour and I had spend all night prayer vigil at my mother's bedside and glory be to God my mother woke up yesterday being 31st but the doctor report was not a good news for me.

Actually my mother was poisoned with salt and guess who did it? My beloved wife couldn't bothered to cook a different meal for my mother, she used to feed her the same meal we ate knowing full well that mama cannot eat the same foods as us because we are salt lovers, especially my wife, she love eating too much salt which I have warned her over and over again because it is also not good for her health.

I confronted her, she said she only fed mama the same meals we ate twice only but according to the doctor it was more than two times.

I am hurt that my wife doesnt love my mother or treat her like her own mother because if she truly loved her like her own mother she would have put her diet on consideration and not allow her to eat the same meal as us. I love her mother and u treat her like my own mother.

It pains me a lot when I remember five years ago when her mother was in coma state and she was staying with her at the hospital, she is her only daughter amongst three boys.

I used to visit them everyday after work, I will bring foods and I have even washed her mother clothes with my own hands, I have done with love because she is my mother. I called my mother in law this morning and I have informed her about what her daughter has done to my mother and she couldn't stop apologising and she is very disappointed with my wife.

But see how she has repaid me by hurting my own mother.

She has apologised to me and to my mother, I have forgave her but I don't think I can stay with her again because one day if I become sick or bedridden she might treat me the same way.

Honestly speaking I am not even at home with her and the kids, I am at my cousin brother's house since yesterday I left the hospital and my mother is still in the hospital because she needs more treatment and hopefully she will recover by next week.

I don't feel like going home today and I don't know when I'll go home but I will always be there for my girls because they are the best thing that ever happened to me.

What other advice would you give me on this situation? What are your thoughts? Thank you for reading all I love this community.

. Women are selfish by nature. It's laziness and carelessness on her part but unfortunately it's wicked carelessness. Forgive her, go home and reprimand her and know you have a careless wife. It demands extra care and attention on your part.

Na mumu still dey marry useless and selfish Nigerian women. The bitches can never love you or your relatives. Demons in human skin

She is not worthy to be a wife... that's for me any girl that will wicked my mom will surely be shifted aside

Yinkakolawole:
Whatever a man sow he will reap, just leave her in the hands of GOD.

You are right Sir, but I will never trust that kind of woman again and I will only consider her as a house mate and not a wife for the rest of my life.

A wife that doesn't mind killing my mother can easily decide to kill me also if the need arises

I don't why some women are just wicked, if they know the kind of hardship some mothers went through just to raise their children.

Op, please that the advice from this fellow. He or she just made some valid points. This is an elderly advise. Please forgive your wife and move on. I don't think her actions were pure intentional but out of negligence though very costly.
Thank you

soundOsonic:
You haven't forgiven her, if at all you have you wouldn't be here posting this.
The only problem I saw here was lack of proper education from your wife.
Now sir, reason this: if she actually knew feeding her salt will lead to this; would she have fed her?
She was only careless and didn't take her diabetes serious.
She acknowledged her mistake and she had apologized already. I know this trying time is enough to pass blame, but blaming her wouldn't make the matter better or worse.

It was a silly mistake, even doctors makes mistakes, you too make mistakes, she had learnt. Go back to your house and clear it from your chest and celebrate the new year with your family.
Happy New year

For those quoting me
For those saying it was intentional, you need to have sense. This isn't Nollywood movie it is real life.
The wife was only lazy and took her sickness for granted. This is the most logical explanation. It is still thesame reason why you poison yourselves taking alcohol, soft drinks, and food rich in oil and fats, though you are conscious of this fact this things are not good for you yet you take them, this is because you are not taking your health serious and you haven't seen with your eyes the implications what this things can cause.
The woman was conscious of the fact this things are not good, but she took it lightly because she haven't seen in first hand the implications.
I myself haven't seen first hand the implications of diabetics. I would have made same mistake due to laziness.

To all those still commenting on the original post. There's a new update from the OP.

Theonlysonofher:
Unfortunately my sweet mother left us

So no one faulted the op for encouraging his wife's attitude towards consumption of salt in the family's meal. He fueled her nonchalant attitude and now he's painting a one sided story because what he fueled boomerang. Your wife saw nothing wrong in the excess consumption of salt, you merely raised an eyebrow, you didn't make your displeasure known and effect a corresponding positive change. So how then do you expect her to see the danger same nonchalant disposition would put your mum in? Sometimes we men are the architect of whatever we get from women and it's unfair to cry foul. If you didn't expressly state she is a heavy consumer of salt I would have inferred her action was deliberate. But in as much as that singular act came up, her action wasn't deliberate. Next time effect the changes you want and not just see it as a non issue. Excess sodium in the body isn't a non-issue, your entire family is at risk of heart related issues.

[s][/s]You should have cooked the meals yourself since she is your mother.
Your wife has a lot at hand with your children and herself... women are not robots.
You should be considerate and DO SOME OF THE WORK YOURSELF!![s][/s]

Don't worry, the same thing will happen to you in your old age.
