'Please don't hurt me!'.

Said my father-in-law(ex) when my husband and I moved in with his parents while both struggling with illness. It was like he thought I was going to stab him in his sleep! I was so offended, but slightly amused. Btw, the 18 months we lived there resulted in no violence, although he and his wife did yell and scream a lot which was NOT helpful to say the least.
