I was a weak little girl, and he was a tough, craggy sadistic bastard. Years later, when there was a grade school reunion, I learned that he had died in a famous commercial plane crash near San Diego. I did a jig of joy at the reunion, and several classmates looked at me all asspants, figuring I was some sort of ghoul, I guess. Don’t care - I’m glad the asshole is dead. Grade school reunion? WTF kind of poedunk town do you live in? I’ve never even heard of that. ---

Probably the same sort of podunk town that I grew up in, where a substation fraction (about 30%, IIRC) of my high school graduating class had also been in my kindergarten class. The yearbook even had several pages with our kindergarten pictures side by side with our senior portraits. ---

The best friend of my ex-wife died in child birth 2 years after our divorce. She was very ‘anti-duck’ and she had at least some part in the marriage failing, I think. When I found out that it happened… I was sad ☹ I’m such a putz. ---

I can’t complain much about my in-laws, but there are a few people who’s funeral I might go to just to make sure they are dead. (And possibly to point and laugh). ---

When I read stuff like this I feel fortunate that I’ve never had anyone that horrible in my life. I’m certain that if I had, I would have some of the same feelings that have been described here. ---

> [@Cubsfan](#): > > Grade school reunion? WTF kind of poedunk town do you live in? > > I’ve never even heard of that. Wow, I forgot all about this post I made years ago. Not too podunky. It wasn’t an “official” reunion, just a get-together sponsored by one of our enterprising classmates. It was a lot more fun than a high school reunion, because you actually knew every single person there, and we had grown up from 13 year olds into young, partying adults. And it would have been a lot less fun if that bully shithead was there. ---

It’s too bad that everyone can’t have in-laws as great as my wife’s. 😃 ---

Well, maybe not a putz, but perhaps a killjoy, anyway, bringing up the whole thing with either a husband losing his wife AND baby, or a baby losing its mother. Come to think of it, yeah, _putz_ sounds about right. 😛 ---

Fuck that whore of my ex’s mom. I pray this bitch dies soon. My ex mother-in-law is evil incarnate. She told my wife she would never love her as long as she was in a relationship with anyone. So, she left me. The woman is crazy nuts and sleeps in my ex wife’s bed with her. I want my ex back so bad, more than anything, but I blame her mother for our break up, and since she doesn’t have the balls to break up with her mother, they only escape is for that whore to die. I hope my ex has another complete break down when that bitch die she comes running back to my arms forever. God bless and protect my family, my mother, and may he/she take that cunt home; the sooner the better. She is an evil, rotten person. My ex asked that piece of shit if she should break up with me after that old bitch told her she could never love her if she were married to someone. My ex is a fucked up piece of garbage, but I will cry everyday until I get her back. ---

> [@Betrayed](#): > > My ex is a fucked up piece of garbage, but I will cry everyday until I get her back. I just… _need_ to quote this. Truth, and poetry, and being human-- all in there. Try not to take out a bunch of innocents when you snap, okay? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-ex-mother-in-law-is-dead/379494.md?page=3)
