I need your 'monster-in-law' stories. Tell me some delicious tales of trouble regarding your mother-in-law, or other 'in-law' relatives. My partner and I have written a book on how to avoid a 'monster-in-law' which will very soon be available on Lulu.com. It is a much needed book of advice for new brides, or brides to be regarding the power struggles some of us faced and are still facing with our 'in-laws'. I don't want to limit the discussion to just mother-in-laws because I have a sister-in-law who deserves the above mentioned 'title' of monster-in-law as well. People need to hear real life stories in order to realize that they are not alone, and possibly help them deal with their situations. They don't want fictional crap when it comes to one of the most coveted relationship of our lives, that being family! Let me know what you think, and/or what you've had to deal with.
Dare you!

Mine is pretty much dominating and very well knows how to steer the situation in her favour, whether she is right or wrong! As my husband is more mama's boy, i have had more trouble dealing with her, but not now. She has cooled off a little....

You posted this a year ago but I just found it and would love to read your book. What is it called? I am writing a screenplay about a terrible sister-in-law which is partially based on my own experiences with my sister-in-law. Please let me know the title of the book as I would love to read it!
