[quote=Anonymous]Wow! That's really tough, OP, but remember DD will go on to other BFs. Just gently guide her not to accept disrespect and to expect better behavior, especially from future ILs. One thing to learn from DCUM is that IL strife NEVER goes away. I learned this myself when I married a guy from another religion. ILs never quite got over the difference, even though DH always dated people of many faiths. (BTW, they're racist too -- unfortunately -- by DH isn't and turns about to be a great husband despite family influences.) Though not as harsh as racism, conflicts NEVER go away and in fact get worse as holidays come along, so tell DD to expect respect as Rule #1. That's what I'm telling my kids, anyway. If eventually it becomes a deal-breaker, that's OK because your kids and mine deserve unconditional love. She's very young, but what she hears now will help her for the rest of her life. Good luck![/quote]
