Do you get along with your inlaws? Why or why not?

I get along with mine, but my MIL takes really hardcore prescription medicines for her "pain" and it makes her seem crazy, she talks to herself, she is up all hours of the night, and she takes all day to get ready just to go to the grocery store, it's very bizarre.

I get along with my in-laws fine. My MIL has a very in your face personality, but I've learned to deal with it.

My Aunt has an addiction to prescription pills. We used to be really close, but she started with it not to bad maybe 10 years ago. Then my cousin (her only son) passed away 6 years ago suddenly when he was 18. Ever since then she got so much worse into the rx drug addiction, and has gone crazy. We've tried to reach out to her, but it's been nearly impossible.

I don't really get along too well with my MIL. She's one of those people that are negative about everything..I just don't talk to her if I don't have to.

Yeah, my MIL refuses to even try to get off the pills. She makes my FIL work even though he is retired and has major heart problems and diabetes just so they can pay her prescription costs, it's ridiculous.

My MIL passed away last February. I miss her! She never got to meet her newest grandson. We found out we were expecting almost 2 months after she was gone. She would have loved him so much. I was actually thinking about her today and I started to cry. She was great.
