[quote=Anonymous]Being on the same page with your DH is key here. Also, you want to be a soft spot for him to maybe express how hard this all is for him. Mainly, you want to let him express some negative feelings about his parents without piling on, because then he might get defensive. It's a tricky line to walk, but really important. Once you can get him talking about how his parent's being so mean to him really makes him feel, you can decide on a game plan. However, if he doesn't really see it as a huge problem, then you work on your own game plan. The best advice I've seen above was to treat them like annoying co-workers. They are people you must keep the peace with for short amounts of time, but there does not need to be any intimacy in your relationship with them. Limit contact, if possible, and lower expectation dramatically... Good luck. They sound horrid.[/quote]
