My family members have officially had it with the way my MIL treats me. Even my brother, who lives in TN and whom I only see a couple of times a year intends to tell her off, along with my sister, mom, dad, and all of my bridesmaids but one (FBIL's GF).
What no one seems to understand is that this won't make anything better; both FI and I have reached the end of the proverbial rope and spoken our minds; she just gets reticent and even more passive-aggressive, if that's possible.
She may not like me. I have accepted this. But I don't want this wedding to turn into a war zone with FI's family on one side, and mine on the other. It's all too Hatfield/McCoy for me! Is there any way to diffuse the situation, or do I have to resign myself to pasting on a bull-butter smile and pretending that she, and the less polite members of my family aren't ruining our wedding?
December 18, 2010!!! Never thought I would be a winter bride; just hoping we don't get snowed in until AFTER the wedding!
