Well, my MIL is a Bible toting, Prophetess of God who is so righteous and Godly that she gets 'Words" from God that tell her what God wants her family members to do. And that is usually to accomodate her wishes and needs, however they might manifest.
Once I pointed out to my husband that he was being totally screwed, she started losing her Grip on him. His mom said that he was tainted by an antichrist spirit and his little brother was promised to her by God. My husband was treated like a second class citizen (he was, after all, conceived in sin before his parents married!) and I came along and showed him that he deserved far better than that.
I love my husband very much so I am cordial and pleasant in his family's company. His mom and the rest of the family are cordial to me in person, but everyone knows that I have taken him off the path of Christian righteousness and into the dark world of multiculturalism.
We are going to spend a couple of days with them this coming week... it will be like being in the movie "Saved!". Ever since I learned to laugh about it, it has been much easier to tolerate.
