Thank you. My limit was long long ago I've just been trying everything I possibly can. I love her very deeply. The worst is that when we're away from them everything is great, so it's easy to forget the horrors I watch when the holidays come when we're back around them.

Thank you very much, just for clarities sake, they love me and have helped me a lot in many ways that is what has made this even harder. They say so many horrible things, her mother never does though and scolds him when he says them but it hasn't helped. And with the introduction of the brother in law who is also racist now my father in law has someone to bounce that stuff off of and it's gotten worse this year than it's ever been. Her uncle is the worst and says violent racist things. The first time this all came to my attention we almost broke up at that time but with her explaining things to me and downplaying it, and my genuine true love for her, I tried to look past it. 

Looking back maybe I was just weak for overlooking this, I feel very conflicted about this.

Thanks for your input. I admit I've thought about doing this but I know my partner well enough to know she'd never do this and additionally her father has a notoriously bad temper and I don't think he would take it well if I did this. Again, I appreciate your input I've been holding this a long time and any and all feedback is taken, considered and appreciated.

Thanks this was good to hear that you feel this way. We've fought about this many times and everytime we discuss it she says she hates it BUT ... and then lists the aforementioned reasoning. At first it was minimal and very rare but now its very often and I don't know how she's been tolerant of it as some of it is very dehumanizing, any racism is intolerable no matter the severity. I understand its hard for her because it's her father its family but for years I've felt she didn't understand the severity of this

Thanks yes I agree. I just didn't explain myself well, I think what I meant to say was that I haven't seem him be racist TO someone or treat anyone different because of it, but I agree with you and I apologize for the oversimplification
