"My boyfriend's parents, especially his mom, treat me like I'm their own. This will be my third vacation with them, as we always meet at their house and drive south together. I adore his whole family, I love that they love me too, and his mom is my best friend. Whenever we go to their house for dinner, I can hardly get in the door before she squeals, "My wine-drinking buddy is here!" & pours me a glass. I lost my mom to cancer when I was 18, and I was very close with her. Nobody will ever replace her, but having such a loving mother-in-law who makes sure to always include me and tell me she loves me, certainly does some healing things for the soul."
