No Escape

So true, Rico. Thanks for your read.

Hello Milton, thank you for answering my question. I guess not all mother-in-laws are good to their daughter-in-laws. This is the last day of our long weekend in Canada. Bless you my friend.

Darlene, the last church I attended on a regular basis was First Christian Church. Before that, I was the pianist/organist for a Lutheran Church for about ten years. I was a pastor in the Southern Baptist Convention until that denomination left me! Thanks for your read, Darlene.

Well, I don't feel so alone in this department now. Thanks, David.

Thanks, Gina. Both is true. I am happy writing, and I love my mother-in-law's tongue which sits on the right side of my hearth.

Thanks for sharing, Jan. I'm pleased that you could relate, and I suspect many others will, as well. My mother-in-law was extremely difficult "on so many levels," too. I need to write a long poem, an epic, about her!

Thanks for your comment, Connie. Yes, you are absolutely correct. But, after we were married, I'm afraid I had to put my mother-in-law in her place. Sadly, years later, I was her sole caretaker. It worked out fine because she treated my word as law! LOL
