I have been w/ my husband for 11 years. He has always been considered the black sheep of his family. When he was a teenager he did some things to deserve this, but now he is respectable, has a good job and a nice family of his own. However, my mother-in-law, father-in-law, sisters-in-law and brother-in-law treat us very badly. They make snide remarks, don't invite us out with them and don't treat our children as fairly as the other grandchildren. I wish we could just write them off and have nothing to do with them, but my husband sticks up for them and for some reason feels he deserves this for what he put them through as a kid. This leads to many fights between us. I hate to see them treat my husband and now me and my kids this way. We only see them on holidays and birthdays, but with Christmas soon approaching I am beginning to dread it. How can I make it through? Should I say something, if so, what can I say that won't uspet my husband?
