I am sorry you are going through this, it can't be easy. Is there a way to separate yourself from your inlaws? Just don't be with them? I have watched a friend pretty much go through the same situation you are in and I have pretty much asked her the same thing.

She asked me what to do so I offered her my thoughts. I mentioned she has choices she could make and for her to do what she felt best. Needless to say she continues to place herself in the presence of family members (inlaws) she doesn't care for. And by doing so makes herself miserable.

I hope it all gets better for you.

I myself find it personally straining to be with many of my inlaws also. I have made the decision for myself just to not be around them unless i absolutely have to be. It's made a much more positive and happier relationship with my hubby.
