Thanks wdotzler: To my stbx MIL,
I just wanted to say thank you so very much for raising the wonderful son you have. He truly is a one-of-a-kind. I have no doubt that you have taught him the best. Thank you for keeping the death of his real mother from him his whole life, thank you for controlling him and being drunk "on the weekends" for him. He really has learned what it is to be a good person. Thank you for dropping my kids. They truly appreciate that. Today is Ant's birthday, you know that though. Fortunately for you, you won't be the one to have to explain why you haven't called him or sent him a card. That's ok, we are strong. We don't need you. Just keep up the good work and be sure to have a good influence on your grandkids. After all the world really does need more people like your special son.
Sincerely,
your stbx-DIL
