I met my father-in-law for the first time after my husband passed away. She was a womanizer at heart, so she accrued debt and divorced her husband, who was still young. ...I didn't want to meet my father-in-law either because I had heard such stories. The first time I met her was at her husband's funeral. When she saw her father-in-law crying and holding his hands in sadness, she wondered if he really wasn't a bad person. She had a faint hope. She realized it was a mistake when her stepfather raped her.
