Re: Do/Did you Get Along with IN-LAWS?
The short answer is NO. I didn't get on with my in-laws. they were old enough to be my grandparents, in fact f-i-l was only three years younger than my paternal grandmother, and six years younger than my maternal one. They were miserable in every respect. They were very religious and even though I had unfortunately been brought up in a Christian fundamentalist environment, it was more lighthearted in many respects than my in-law's home. My husband, who had been devout in his younger years, lost his faith and is a convinced atheist. I am sure they blamed me, although actually it was my husband's academic studies (he has four degrees) that lead him to the conclusion there is no deity. I don't think we have a single photo of my in-laws with our children, all they were interested in was the state of their souls and their bowels! My husband was treated like the black sheep and f-i-l would send him some horrible letters signed Your father and his full name! When they died my husband was relieved and so was I.Re: Do/Did you Get Along with IN-LAWS?
I love all my in-laws with my first husband, they took me into their family as one of their own and even though he passed away after we divorced we still see each other regularly. His Mum was more of a mother to me than my own. The in-laws with my second husband are very nice too, we get along great. It's my own brothers, their wives and my own parents (now gone) I will have nothing to do with. It's a strange life.Re: Do/Did you Get Along with IN-LAWS?
I got on well with my inlaws until my M-I-L passed away, after knowing her only 3 years. My F-I-L then withdrew into himself and I found it difficult to talk to him. He passed away 10 years ago.Re: Do/Did you Get Along with IN-LAWS?
