Dear Harriet,
So sorry.
I guess my advice would be to realize that this is a situation which is out of your control. You can not change them, or make them like you. I would politely tolerate them, and redirect their negativity by changing the subject. I would then put all of my energy in the enjoyment of your new life with your new husband. Life is simply too short to be bogged down in misery. You don''t have to take part in their manipulative games. It reminds me of this quote "Just because someone throws you a ball, it doesn''t mean you have to catch it."
Best wishes on your upcoming wedding.
