My advice may go against the grain and I apologize if I offend anyone. I speak from personal experience, both with inlaws (blessed with good ones for almost 30 years) and the bf's gf's of my three grown children.

I am so very sorry you are having BF family problems. Unfortunately, you can choose a BF, but you can choose your BF's family. They are part of the package deal. It is NOT fair for you to ask or expect your BF to alienate his family on your behalf -- however YOU should not be required to interact with them. If you choose a life long relationship with this man, remember his family will become part of your family and will always be there either as an active part of his life or lurking in the background waiting to cause problems.
