Dear LFTP letter 1 — the Thanksgiving ex-boyfriend

• Am I overreacting, or is my husband's mother being unreasonable? (Dear LFTP: mother-in-law invited my abusive ex-boyfriend and his wife to Thanksgiving.)

Dear LFTP letter 1: a woman's mother-in-law 'tends to embrace every pitiful creature she comes in contact with' and has invited her ex-boyfriend and his wife to Thanksgiving; the ex was abusive and cheated on her with the woman now his wife. The hosts are suspicious — 'she's leaving out some sort of detail,' maybe the ex is her husband's brother — and Dan says the mother-in-law is meddling, trying to push her out of the family. Boova: 'This gal is a drama queen.'
