Dearest John, it's been a fortnight since I felt your warm embrace.

Dear Sam, such it has since we started the OK Storytime podcast.

Yes, and I have a message for you, a delicious story that I think you'll love sincerely, Sam.

But before that, thine divine two-minute outbreak must happen.

I bid thee farewell.

See you in two minutes.

This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human. My mother-in-law has been controlling our lives for so long. I can't take it anymore. I don't want to do this anymore, Grandpa. That's too damn bad. This will be a lot. So bear with me and thank you to anyone who reads this. Possible trigger warning mentions of family friends self-harm. Mother-in-law is a super controlling, manipulative, and self-absorbed person, especially when she doesn't get her way. Hooray. Here is a snapshot of a few issues we've had leading up to this most recent one. By the way, this comes from user T Accomplished 1505. And if you want to submit your own stories, go to the R-slash OK Storytime

subreddit. So, when husband graduated from college, he was offered a job in another state.

Mother-in-law and sister-in-law cornered me at one point and accused me of taking their son

and brother away from them. After we moved, we eloped because

I needed to be able to be on his health benefits due to some medical things I had going on. We

already have a small wedding planned for that next year at his parents' house. Mother-in-law

did not like the fact that we got married and told husband that I was not allowed to change my

last name or tell anyone that we were married.

Okay.

I flew back a few months before the wedding to finish getting everything settled.

Husband and I had everything planned out just as we wanted.

When we flew back for the wedding, mother-in-law literally changed everything about the wedding.

We wanted a small, intimate wedding, country theme with hay bales and shepherd hooks, just very low-key. We wanted to do a run-through of the day, but she refused to do that. She refused to let my mom come and help. My little brother was the ring bearer, and she kept making comments about how he was the only thing that would not be perfect about the wedding. This is, you just remove her. It's that you just remove her from her duties. Stop listening to her. Do not give her permission to change everything about your wedding. Uh, husband and her ended up getting into a huge fight once we found out that she had changed everything. We found out that she talks trash about me behind my back to everyone. We ended up moving back home and I got pregnant. First thing mother-in-law said to us was to let her know what her boundaries are. Of course, any time we have done that, it's caused problems. My in-laws are very wealthy. They went in with some family friends and bought a large amount of property and are building a subdivision. The family friends unfortunately lost their daughter seven years ago to self-harm, so are naming their part of the subdivision after her.

Mother-in-law decided to name their part of the subdivision after...

What was L-O?
