Dawn was the only one who hadn’t been told about the cruise. And the reason was while Becky was scouring the resort searching for her, she was scribbling away in her journal in a secluded garden. It was her first and only entry, and it was to her mother-in-law, Edna.

Dear Edna,

I’ve been thinking about you a lot this trip. Too much, in fact.

They say to start a letter with something nice. So I’ll start with saying thank you for raising my wonderful husband.

Having said that, I have to tell you that you have a problem with boundaries. When I get back this is going to change!!! I’m tired of feeling like a visitor in my own home. It’s our home, not yours. I decorated it! I cook in it! I’m living in it!

If I were saying these things to your face, your head would be going back and forth so fast it might fly off. And to tell you the truth I don’t think I could say any of this to your face. That is precisely the problem. The other problem is that I shouldn’t have to say any of this. Your son should be telling you these things.

Maybe I should be writing this letter to Tommy. You know, he was a good husband before you came along. Kind and decent and loving. His beauty surpassed the sea. I want my man back!!!

I’ll tell you what the problem is with Tommy. It’s you, M-I-L ! How can he cleave to me when he’s cleaving to you?

With all due respect,

Your daughter-in-law Dawn

P.S. You may not believe it, but I actually want to be friends with you.

Dawn took a deep breath. Now I think I’ll go buy her a postcard in the gift shop and try to write something nice. “Thank you for feeding my family all those artery clogging meals,” or something like that. She chuckled.

And everyone thinks I’m sooo nice all the time. Dear God, if they only knew I’m the same as they are. In the worst way I wish I were perfect.
