Mother-in-law lives in Mumbai with widowed daughter-in-law. Father-in-law walked off from Mumbai after eldest son's death, to his home in Dehradun where is youngest widowed daughter-in-law lives with her two small children. He then went to his ancestral home district Bhabhua. There is a property dispute and a dowry case against the two of them in Dehradun. 
Then he came to Lucknow to his only surviving middle son, after he told the son that his nephew Vishnu  ill-treated him. From Lucknow he would visit Mumbai and stay with his so-called adopted daughter, meet his wife and after a few months would complain about the food etc & return to Lucknow. In Lucknow he would throw tantrums about not eating breakfast & lunch. Would bad-mouth about his son to the neighbours about his stay in Lucknow and has even gone to the extent of drafting a complaint to the DM about how his life is hell here (LKO)and that he should be sent to Mumbai. For two years he has gone back and forth from Lucknow - Mumbai -Lucknow. But he bad-mouths his son everywhere and other relatives too. 
The only people he never says a word against are his wife and eldest daughter-in-law, who are refusing to keep him but want his pension. They call making excuses that the mother is dying and they need money. All of this upsets our home environment. Every time they talk on the phone, he begs her to let him visit and she refuses. He then throws tantrums in Lucknow, like not eating food-Breakfast & lunch & in the evening he will behave as if he did not do anything. He also has a dirty eye. He always comments on women's figures and complexion. He has gone to the extent of telling me that I have a good figure(gesturing with hands) and that I looks good in saris. He delights in talking to the maids and bad-mouthing his only son and daughter-in-law. If he meets anyone from outside the house and he starats talking about  how he sold milk to educate his children.
He tries to show that he is in great misery when that is not true. He live in a room with attached bathroom. All meals are served on time. He wants to go to Mumbai to his wife but she refuses to keep him. His negative behavior creates friction within the home and is upsetting his son and daughter-in-law as he dleights in irritating his son by throwing tantrums and then saying that he never does anything and its his son's imagination. His patent statements are" Maine kya kiya?", Maine toh badiyan se rahta hoon." and "Tum aisa soochte ho." He and his wife can sort their issues on their own. We don't want to be dragged into their nonsense
