[quote=Anonymous]OP, you definitely did the right thing. A few years ago I was at my parents beach house and my parents kept saying such rude things to my DH (they have never ever liked him, why, I guess because he's an immigrant but he is a great dad and husband and he turns the other cheek), but I had had enough and said we're leaving, right there in the middle of the afternoon. I told my parents I wasn't going to listen to them bad mouth the father of my children ANYMORE, ever again. I didn't even speak to them for a while, but things got better. I finally went back this year to the beach house and they did not repeat any of that behavior. It is important to stand up for yourself at any age.

Also, where was your sister during all of this? My sister has my back and I have hers.  Since my beach meltdown/showdown, my sister has met, married and had children with a man of a different race, which completely sent my parents over the edge. I backed my sister up 100%, that they needed to stop with the comments about interracial couples and babies, etc. That even if my sister wasn't there I didn't want to hear it either or my children hear it and if they couldn't control or censor themselves we wouldn't be around them either.

If I was your sister and knew or saw my mom do that to you I would have stepped in in support of you. [/quote]
