[quote=Anonymous]BIL sounds like the high drama llama.  The fact that he kept saying "this is about my son and not about you" "don't make it about you" and then issued the invite to just your husband excluding you and your kids....

Uhhhh, that would create drama.  Duh.  Sounds like you have become the unwitting scapegoat in that family - the one who gets blamed for everything that goes wrong and is shunned for being the "bad guy" (the family trouble maker) even when you haven't said one word to them.

Your husband is caught circling outside the group trying to win their approval.  And he only gets their approval by shunning his own wife and kids.

Your husband is now in the unfortunate position of choosing between his family of origin and his own wife and children.  What a lousy situation for him to be in.  I would go on the trip with him, stay in a nice hotel and do something (more) fun with my kids while he attends the event with his family.  Or I would just stay home with the kids and avoid the drama altogether.
