What she has been through is awful.

I wish though that more people knew the difference between an Acknowledgements page and a Thank You page.

This should properly be titled Anti Thanks.

Acknowledgements should only cover individuals and institutions whose contributions are a direct factor in the material body of the text.

Edit: I see a surprisingly large number of you have, or plan to, amateurishly shoehorn your parents, best friends, favourite barista, and pet cat into your phD Acknowledgements.

Spend the 10 cents on having an extra page of front matter; your future publisher will thank me.

You should let her know so you can make your way into the next printing
