Here I will tell you why they don't like me. They are wealthy ppl and my family was not. So they assumed I only married their son to get their money, FIL said this to DH before we ever got married and they still think this way of me. We have never gone to them for help of any kind, financially or emotionally. At one point they had tried to convince DH that I was not a good person. They have tried many tactics to get rid of me. We had a big blow up with them 2 years ago and they were mad because hubby stuck up for me. So now we hardly see them and they only live 6 miles from us. They followed us from Ca. just to cause trouble for us.
