____________________
Nell was my mother-in-law for over forty years. She could be charming when she wanted to be, especially if she wanted something. Much of the time she wasn't nice at all, especially to her children and their families; with us, she was usually untruthful, disrespectful, demanding, manipulative, demeaning, insulting, and so on. Nell's treatment of people she considered socially beneath her could be appalling and embarrassing for us, especially when in public places. Sadly, we don't miss her, though we were relieved that her remaining health failed very quickly at the end of her life. Her parents and sisters suffered for years before they passed away.
