Family drama

My homophobic SIL has become insulting to my partner. I want to cut her out of my life but I don't want to lose my relationship with brother or nephews.

I haven't talked about SIL's nastiness with my brother because it seems tacky to ask him to take sides.

These days I feel like I'm unwelcome in my own parents' home because she holds the keys to the kingdom as the mother of the grandkids. I'm just the black sheep.

Rock >> Me << Hard Place

Argh. I'm so utterly sad and flustered I'm not even able to articulate how sad and powerless this makes me feel.

Anyway. Not that I would wish this drama on anyone, but if anyone has advise I'm listening. I certainly haven't come up with any solutions and I've been wracking my brain since Xmas.
