My MIL doesn't like me because 1. I'm Catholic and she's Church of Christ (apparently that makes me the devil or something)
Winnibug, this happened to my mother when she married my dad. He was (initially) disowned for marrying my mom because she was an Irish Catholic and he is Episcopalian. My grandmother was such a snob!! Didn't matter that my mom's dad was a doctor - she was Irish and she was Catholic, so she was scum!

Things changed though when they had a son, the III - the only one to carry on the famiily name, then they were accepted back into the fold.

By the time I was born, all was well and we were a big happy family, but I don't think my mom ever truly got over the cruelty that was exhibited to her at their marriage (and NO, my dad's parents did not attend!!)
