[quote=Anonymous]Lol - I think it's funny how this has turned into chuck-e-cheese bashing.

How often do you see them? I might suggest to just bite the bullet and just deal. She isn't going to change and her goal is to create misery around her because she herself is miserable. Don't show any emotion around her except a plastic fake smile. When she says something mean/bitchy act like you didn't hear her and make her repeat herself. Also, a good response to passive aggressiveness is 'hmmm, what do you mean by that?' When a passive aggressive has to repeat themselves or explain further  it's kinda funny.

It's your call really, once every two months of seeing them (that's my guess) - I doubt you'll be able to accomplish much change in your relationship. Maybe that is a good thing actually because thank the dear lord they don't live closer. Also, I agree with the pp that said that the father/son should try to schedule alone time to talk but like I said, if you see them 5 times a year it's not going to be a huge change. Honestly he just needs to dump her ass but neither of you are going to make him see that. Just try to preserve your own relationship with the FIL as best you can. And if he acts shitty too, well, maybe you're just busy every time they invite themselves over.
