I'm sorry for you having such a mother-in-law.
I'm sorry that you could not have had one like my
own beloved old Portuguese mother-in-law, who
was an absolute jewel. In fact, once she told me
that if my husband (a charming result of her upbringing)
ever got mad at me, for me to go live with her. And our
son and my two daughters from a first marriage!!!
I'll always miss her.
