[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please be kind.  I already know I shouldn't have seen this coming, but...

My in-laws are Christian Evangelicals.  I am not.  They believe that I'm going to hell because I haven't taken Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior.  They believe the same about my family.  My family has been nothing but loving and kind and generous to DH and his family.

Every time we're in town, DH's family says something offensive and bigoted about my religion and ethnic background.  It's frustrating and hurtful.  DH just tells me to ignore it and acts like nothing happened.  It hurts me to see his family act that way.  I knew they always felt that way but I guess I was hopeful that once they saw that I was a good person, they'd feel differently.  I'm a little afraid our daughter (now just a toddler) is going to be confused by grandma and grandpa's belief that Mommy and Mommy's whole family are all going to hell.  For some reason, whenever DH's family says something stupid and racist, DH gets angry with ME for being upset about it and it just makes him act nicer and sweeter to his family because "they don't know any better" and resentful and annoyed with me for being sad about it.

Over the years, DH is also getting more and more conservative.  He wasn't conservative when we were dating.  I don't know how to handle him becoming his father...

I know this isn't going to get better.  I guess I just don't know how to deal with it.  How do I keep my daughter from believing what they believe (that I'm going to hell and so is my whole family)?  [/quote]

OP here.  I meant to say I know that I SHOULD have seen this coming.[/quote]
