I initially thought I'd HATE my MIL because XAH depicted her as being a valium-addicted career-driven award-winning neurologist, but turns out she is a funny, loving, thoughtful nurse, who was quite confused to find out the lies her son had been telling about her. Also, she and I are very much alike, and we have over the years developed a friendship. She has stated time and time again that had we met under different circumstances we'd be best friends. Finally, she's also the woman who told me to "get out and save myself"...
