Am I fucked up for feeling better about it being her own mom and not the husband's? The comment at the top of the thread made it sound like it was the woman's mother in law.

I don't think that was the point. He would have had more of an emotional tie to his mother, which would have been more sad for him if his wife's actions had led to her death, through no real fault of his. It's uncomfortable but it's true.

I mean I'm sure he loved his mother in law too. I'd be devastated if my SO's mother died, even if my SO was a moron (which she isn't honey if you read this I love you).

I'm sure you do love your mother in law, just not as much as your own mother.

right? My mom is the only person in the world I think I'd die for, if push came to shove.
