Married girls: How do you get along with your mother-in-law?

I'm divorced now, but I loved my mother-in-law dearly. Still do. She's an amazing person. We had struggles, same as any, but we came into our own and we both respected the other's position. 

I'm not married ,but can I still answer..... :)

We do alright. She does try to be overbearing at times.
My husband is good about handling it when she steps over the line. 
She always has drama but it is usually with other family members.

Well, kind of weird because she doesn't think I'm his type so she doesn't really understand what he sees in me

My mother in law died back in 1984. At the time of her death she had expressed that she had come to see me as a daughter. I very much appreciated her comment because early on in my marriage she and the rest of the family did not like me because I was not Catholic. With time she came away with a different opinion of me. I too became fond of her. 

ive never been lucky enough to get married let alone have a mother in law
