[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for trying to talk sense into me, seriously.  This is OP.  DH insists on going, there is no changing his mind.  They are bullies and will always be.  Combine that with their self imposed "ranking" in the family, it's awful.  They are very unhappy people.  The least successful act out the most, as expected.  And they wonder why they are not successful - it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

DH has given and given to his family.  They are takers now and they will always be.  We have friends with beach houses, and could certainly afford to rent our own in a place we actually like, so having a alternatives is not the question.

Half of his family has moved away (across the country) because they know the other half is miserable.  This is the only time DH gets to see the "good half" of the family.   Like I mentioned, we have very little vacation time this year.  Going out to see them one at a time is out of the question.

I think DH is afraid his parents will die soon (they are 85).  They get more and more miserable.  [Then again, DH refused to take the time to have us fly to see my parents on what turned out to be (unknowingly) their last major holiday :(  ]

Yes, there are control issues in the family, to say the least. No, it won't end in divorce (I know that is the DCUM creed: "leave him!").  I just keep waiting for the end, when his parents are not around to cause this strife.  We have nothing to gain but peace.

And the end of these beach "vacations" from hell in a place we don't even like!

One year, they planned an additional week without DH and (get this) part of the family would NOT have had vacation time without DH - as he employed them! (New management stepped in and told them to hit the curbside, apparently.)

I can't go this time, because I can't let DC see how the family acts toward me (and how DH acts with his rotten family around).  I think I will plan something for myself.
