After my parents divorced, my sister-out-law and I tried to keep our friendship, even as family members treated her like a former relative.

When I first met my brother-out-law, he smiled warmly and offered to help with the groceries.

I was nervous to meet my boyfriend's mother-out-law for the first time, so I brought a homemade cake.

I was nervous to meet my father-out-law for the first time at dinner.

At first I felt awkward meeting my sister-out-law, but we discovered we liked the same books.

At the reunion, the fathers-out-law shared stories about raising their children.

Although my daughter-out-law hasn't said much, I can tell she's nervous about meeting our parents.

Our son-out-law has been living with our daughter for two years and always joins us for Sunday dinner.

My daughters-out-law organized a surprise anniversary party for us last weekend.

My brothers-out-law helped me move into my new apartment last weekend.
