I totally get the mil "I love you" thing. My mil and I say it every time we get off the phone and everytime they (or we) leave from a vacation. I can't imagine how hard it would be to seperate from his side of the family or to stay so connected in the event of divorce. My H pretty much told me that a D is what he is wanting so right now it is hard to think about his side of the family without getting really upset.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
