history: While their relationship is rough now, I have to believe that my oldest child and husband will end up with a wonderful relationship. My oldest and my husband have always had a rough relationship. I've got to believe that as she gets older_comma_ it will get better!
current: I'm sure it will! I didn't get along with my dad until i became an adult.
next: That's always good to hear. But in the moment -- argh, my *heart*. How did your mom maneuver the differences between y'all? Did that wear on her?
