Exactly. I was not estranged from my parents but I had the mother in law from hell. And her husband was an enabler. She did everything from going to the preacher to tell him not to marry us to telling her family not to have anything to do with us. Then, she acted like we did something to her! She's been dead for over ten years yet lately, it's like she's back in my life. I KNOW she told her friends how awful we were to poor, poor her.
