Sir,
I was married to my wife 30 years ago and we were blessed with two children. After a period of 7yrs differences cropped up between us, I was an alcholic but I never harassed her like beating, threatening etc.
One fine day after 7yrs she left my company and stayed at her parents house.
My elder son who was just 3 years preffered to stay with me.
Latter I got a visa to USA and I left to Us leaving my elder son under the care of my parents.
Soon after I reached there my wife along with her parents came to my parents house and took back my eldest son from their custody.
After staying in US for 4yrs, I returned back to India, my wife joined me latter and again the earlier disputes came to the fore.
She again left my company and filed for separation of property to her and our two minor children who were under her care at that time and also for maintance.
The case ran for almost 6 years and finally a compromise petition between the two parties came up where the husband i.e., me and my father has to take up the responsibility of the children and my wife,
The court ordered her to immedieatly join my company,
But she did not do so for a period of more than two years which made me file Resticution of conjunal rights,
After the notice was served, she joined my coompany.
She was not acting normally and on all small pretext would go to her parents house and stays for weeks together. She finds fault in everything I do, but still we are residing under one roof. For the past two yearsthe way she treats me has got on to my nerves and I almost stopped eating food, as she prepares some food for herself and my children and serves me left overs.
Now my children have grown up and theyhave tthier own jobs and they are earning more than what I get from my rental income which is my only source of income.
I have been paying all the necessary house hold expenses with my meagre income, but she demands more. I have no peace of mind, no one talks to me in the house and I am confined to my room.
Even if I am in need of any medical emergency I have to depend on myself only.
I have almost become a loner, I ask my relatives and freinds not to come to my house in fear of what unpleasant suttuation may arise because of her.please suggest what i can do under these circumstances.

This is more of a family problem and lesser is legal. It shall be better to enhance the relations with your sons so that those may side with you and a amicable solution and good atmosphere may prevail in your family. Legally you can demand maintenance from your sons.

better visit a marriage counsellor to resolve your disputes in amicable manner . try to go for long walks develop a friend circle .
make it clear to your wie that you have limited sources of income and cannot pay her more . you can always ask your children whoi are now working to contirbute some money for household expenses
