Hi everyone,


history is being made today. I prefer my mother in law over my own mother. :)

I understand. I had an absolutely wonderful mother in law! Unfortunately, she died too young. She was 68. She died from non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She was so sweet and loving.

Hahaha!

I always did. My mother in law was helpful, upbeat, and compassionate. My mother has always been the opposite.

Thanks for the chuckle!

shuffle, that happened to me, too. Loved my mother-in-law, she was so comical that after every phone call I was smiling for hours. Even after her son and I were divorced in 1993, she made sure I wasn't "divorcing" her. We remained the best of friends until her final passing a few years old.

This does happen in families. My brother married four times. All three previous wives remained close to our family, and told us exactly what you just said, that they were divorcing my brother, but not the rest of the family.

It is a bit humorous at times. My kids numbered their aunts, “Aunt 1, 2, 3 & 4.” Hahaha. All would show up at the hospital when my father was sick and the nurses had a difficult time trying to sort out family members! LOL 😆 I had to tell them not to try and sort of my family members.

The previous wives sent Mother’s Day and Father’s Day cards to my parents, birthday cards to my girls, attended dinners and parties at my house, at the same time as my brother and wife number 4! Wife number 1 and wife number 3 even travel together and evacuated hurricane Katrina together ! Crazy to some, but normal for our family!

Not all divorces end horribly. Some people do live in harmony and continue with the bonds that are formed. We have a blended family and I keep in touch with everyone. My brother’s previous wives who had children before marriage with their ex husbands still call me aunt and visit my home. I love that I inherited nieces and nephews!

Happy that your situation with your mother in law remained loving, FF

I had a really good Mom. Even with Dementia she was easy. I always said guess you can't have a good Mom and a good MIL too.

I did feel sorry for my MIL. I think she thought we'd go shopping together. She kept saying I should quit work. I did, when I was pregnant and then I had the baby. So no time for a relationship with her. Plus, she made it hard, with her personality disorder, it was impossible to have a relationship. Then she moved 900 miles away.😊
