[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure I have anything helpful: but this was my parents. My mom's parents were very bigoted; my dad's open and accepting. Although at first my parents lived close to both, later they moved very far away, and when I was a kid, we visited dad's parents much more. In fact I stayed a month with my dad's parents when I was three, and no mention of why not with my Mom's. My mom visited her parents solo. Mom's parents were clearly racist and it was shocking. I don't know if there was any talk before the wedding (doubtful) but I do know that my dad always limited his and my contact with my mom's parents.[/quote]

The problem here is the kids want to remain close with the bigots and have family join together. The daughter is also picking up on the hate.

I’m sorry op, I would say that you can’t continue subjecting yourselves to listening to that guy discussing stomach turning hate. I would tell her how he abused his position and consequences be damned. It can serve as the cut off point from spending time with that couple and maybe your daughter’s eyes will open, maybe she will get angry with you. All you can do is say you love her and will support her but not condone any friendship with vile people. Those types will cause problems later, misery loves company.[/quote]
