Dear "Mom": Get Lost.

You think your relationship with your son-in-law is rough? The Washington Post describes the way you know definitively that your son-in-law does not like you:

Michael Schiavo angered his late wife's family Monday by not notifying them about the burial beforehand and by inscribing on her bronze grave marker the words "I kept my promise." Schiavo, who said he promised his wife he would not keep her alive artificially, also listed Feb. 25, 1990, as the date his wife "Departed this Earth."

If she "departed this earth" in 1990, then why did Michael really care what the heck happened to her? He didn't seem much interested in respecting Terri when he took up with another woman and fathered children with her.
