What’s worse is number 2 and on is countries like Russia and other “third world hellholes” that the US tells us are communist dictatorship type countries… Kinda makes you wonder if we’re being lied to about USA being land of the free and all that…
In Taiwan there’s no concept of children being “free” at 18. Legally sure, they are adults but parents here never lets them go and I believe people here actually have legal obligations to take care of elder parents too…
I’m sure the OP is aware that now is the time to be cold and logical. Legal advice is a no-brainer. As is protecting assets and maintaining a verifiable history of events. This is a window of opportunity moment.
OP’s flippant behavior at this time is a bit suspect, if I’m honest. Attempting to kidnap children across borders and framing your spouse for domestic violence…this is not typical behavior. Why wouldn’t one pursue legal recourse? Or at least secure a psychiatric check for the wife? Something seems off.
Of course we never know the full story. Yes, if someone made a false accusation against me of spousal battery that would be the line crossed for blindingly obvious reasons. But, people respond in different ways.
In the last year or so, our relationship has been deteriorating for reasons I don’t think I need to get into, and my wife’s mental state has been deteriorating in tandem.
