[quote=Anonymous]My FIL is an alcoholic, racist against Blacks, thinks Islam is inherently a terrorist belief system, and has literally told me in all seriousness that "yoga is devil-worship." I shit you not. This man believed what he was saying. During my first visit with him, I tried to engage like I would with any sensible person who just hasn't thought carefully through a sweeping generalization. That wasn't fruitful because he has a personality disorder and he's an alcoholic. So, I've since learned to get up & walk away. I'm polite enough about it, but I don't sugar coat why I'm leaving. He responds differently from me knowing that I won't stick around & listen to his nonsense. What these people want is an audience - some one to lecture. Don't give them that. Instead, only engage with what is good - and yes, I'm sure your MIL has a good side. Be there and loving when she shares that good side with you. Excuse yourself when she shows her hateful side.
