It was so well-written and core-honest. It brought back memories of my previous MIL, helped weed out feelings about future experiences I may find myself having (I have this idealized dream in my head, which my current boyfriend's mother does not compute with, but I'm afraid no woman on earth would - excluding myself in 30 years). The key part is Charles' treatment of her; that there is psychological and marital Gold. Primary relationship from childhood = how he will love you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24067464.post-89040820727998740762010-06-03T12:31:28.132-07:002010-06-03T12:31:28.132-07:00Amber,
You are hilarious in your description of t...Amber,<br /><br />You are hilarious in your description of this force, this flood, this fire. But also in your humility as your describe the person you intend to be in contrast with the way you actually are. I can totally relate to this! I love your description of Charles: grace under fire.Jenny Schroedelhttp://jenschroedel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24067464.post-52782730499945627132010-06-03T01:10:49.024-07:002010-06-03T01:10:49.024-07:00I am with Molly.

Perhaps it can be part of my new survival mantra, up there with "children do childish things." <br /><br />Peace to you. And strength.

Although even if you would have abandoned her to the wolves, you still welcome her in your home, which is a good thing.Kris Livovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12328942615612193100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24067464.post-79826930871911566982010-06-02T19:01:10.334-07:002010-06-02T19:01:10.334-07:00Amber, you must be so relieved to have your space ...Amber, you must be so relieved to have your space back! I cannot imagine ten days of this situation. I would have been hyperventilating by the end. I love the Emily Dickinson poem and it's a very clever and funny complement to the way you describe your mother-in-law-- a force of nature indeed.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050111738609344148noreply@blogger.com
