We are in the Army, stationed in Germany. She is stationed about 2 hours from me. We take turns traveling every other weekend. Her Mother came to Germany to be her Daughter’s dependant, because she isn’t very good with her Money and is not Educated. The Mother was raised in Mexico and only has a 5th grade education. My Fiance is the Oldest and none of the other children can or will take care of her. My Fiance is Raising her youngest brother too. All the kids left early, because they didn’t like how the Mother treated them (abusive, and a long story in itself). Her Mother seems unhappy with life and brings everyone else down. Two of her Children don’t really talk to her. Her Mother watches the two kids, but my Fiance can afford child care and they had it prior to her Arrival. I really want to have a good relationship with the Mother, but everything that I try doesn’t work. For example, I bought her some walking shoes that she wanted for her birthday, she tried on several pairs and I bought the one that she wanted. Her legs started hurting while wearing them and she got mad at me. I’m really at a loss. I’ve never had problems getting along with anyone like this in my life. Oh, the Chidren’s Father is not really in the picture. He talks to them occasionally on the phone, but that is it.
