Irish, Mila, and Cas,

Thanks ladies! Yes, X-MIL is one of the main threads between XH and me at this point (the other is ping pong). X-MIL did not have a circle of friends. Her 'friends' were the store clerks where she shopped all the time. No one else goes to visit her except XH and me. XH goes 3-6 times/wk I think. I have gone once every 2 weeks since February, once a month before that. I go to visit because that is the tradition within which I was raised. Would go more often if I was an official part of the family.

BTW, pretty sure that XH's BMF only visited once in the last year when XH asked him to visit because he was going out of town to a conference.
