in the movie there was a resolution.  the wife and mil came 2 an understanding.  and the mil admitted that the strife was about her being alone and losing her son and not actually about the wife.  i mean i love my h,but he didnt have so much 2 offer when we got married. and i didnt have a whole lot either.  but i was on my own. i had an apt full of furniture. i was in college.  i had a daughter,but i was ok. my life was messy but it was independent and it was mine.  s was in college livin w/his mom.  he was a deacon and working as a pa @ a tv station.  his life was dependent upon his mom.  thats how she likes  it.  anyway.   neither  one  of  us was saving the other.  we got 2gether b/c we loved each other.  we still do, but theres a lot more baggage.  that 1st yr i was a mess. i was often depressed & he picked up the slack.  so is it now my turn?
