[quote=Anonymous]This isn't in the same vein as the others but I refused to interact with my extended ILs for about a 6 year period.  My MIL/FIL were very nice people but with the exception of 1 cousin, the rest of my DH's family were incredibly rude, insulting and make it very clear I wasn't welcome (I'm of a different ethnicity than them).  DH and I came close to ending our engagement over it - he wouldn't call them on their behavior and just wanted me to ignore it.  I realized I didn't have an IL problem but a BF problem.  We went to counseling to help address it.  Then BF (now DH) addressed it with them which is what I needed to see.  After that, I just refused to go to any family event (except those hosted by my MIL/FIL).  DH was welcome to go but I wouldn't.  Five years after our wedding and about a year after I had our first kid, they extended an olive branch which I accepted although there's one I refuse to interact with (she's such a fucking bitch!) but I'm willing to be polite so my kids can have a relationship with their cousins.
