| I had an awkward encounter with my SIL a few months ago where she told me that I am breaking her family up. It’s no longer a secret she and my MIL dislike me. How am I expected to deal with these people during the holidays? |

I'm sorry, OP.
Stick very close to your husband. Be polite but distant. Does DH know? What are the root causes? |

| Why do you need to? If you feel you must, just be politely pleasant I guess. |

That's preposterous! How can you break up her family?  What a drama queen.

What an awful statement, OP. She sounds like my mother 
Why do you think she said it? |

| Skip the holidays with them. Send DH and the kids and spend time with your own kids. |

Oh no! I hope you are not my ex’s new wife because I really like you, you are a great stepmother to my son.
Agree, polite distance. Good luck |

Did you happen to see her dH in an icecream shop behind the counter with the icecream girl?
You know what post that refers to, right? We told Op to butt out/myob as to risk breaking up SIL's family. |

I wouldn't be around them. What does your DH think of the situation? My own parents weren't allowed in my house when they were disrespecting DH. |
