You just described my ex-husband's mother and my relationship...are you married to my monster X??? :?: :lol: My MIL could NOT have treated me any better or more lovingly than she treated me. I always felt so blessed to have her in my life. She's gone now and I've been divorced from her son for 40 years but still miss dialing her number to check on how to make this or that. She was wonderful. I, too, wish everyone had a MIL like mine. My DH's mom died before we met so I don't know how she would have been but wish everyone could experience the kind of MIL my first one was.
