[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't deal with them any more. Neither does my DH at this point. They said some things that can't be unsaid and we're just done.[/quote]

This times a million.  OP, your IL's are not your family. If they choose to be warm, welcoming, decent and fair (by most standards, not just theirs) - then they are doing the right thing, showing class and respect for themselves.  If they don't respect themselves, they can't respect you. So, that is not your problem, that is theirs - and it was their problem LONG before you came along.  Besides, MIL is old enough to know better and her job (by definition) is to set a positive example. If you MIL is immature or petulant, that is on her.  You owe her nothing.

PPs are right, your family is your DH and your children. In no way do you marry the family.  If you had known MILs true colors, you probably would never have married DH, which is probably what a controlling MIL would want.  Don't give her what she wants. [/quote]
