Did the abuse start before or after you resumed contact with your parents? If you began abusing her afterwards, chances are your wife blames them and feels betrayed since she "worked" hard to get you to reconcile with them. I have been in a similar situation, where my husband wasn't speaking to his parents, and I kept at him to reconcile with them. We almost split up because of it. Then, when he finally did reconcile with them, they started trying to break our marriage up. Needless to say, I feel very betrayed and don't really want a whole lot to do with them now. So, that is why I suggest that your wife may feel that way. Pray for guidance...I'm sure God will work things out in the end. It may just take some time for your wife to heal.
