Story 6:
My mother-in-law is amazing. After my divorce, when I hit rock bottom financially, she gave me half the money I needed for a decent 2-bedroom apartment. Not really for me, of course, but for her grandson — my son. She never lectured me, never criticized me, never tried to defend her son. She looked at the situation objectively. I wish I had that much wisdom in life. Later my husband and I got back together and things worked out, but I’ll always be grateful to her for being there when my whole world was falling apart. © Overheard / Ideer
