They will completly ignore me but when one paticular sister inlaw is not in the picture they are nice(if you want to say that) they at least acknowledge me. This is bringing me down. I try not to go to any family functions. I feel that if I pull myself away then noone is getting hurt but my children are. My parents love my kids. The others not so much. I hate this for them. Any advice?

There seems to be a leader in the pack. Does your husband acknowledge this properly with you and assist, as it seems if you are not going to family functions then he must be aware of your misery and as your husband, surely he can intervene a little here, you are his wife?
Do you know this "leader of the pack" resents you so much that has obviously led to her controlling the other's in regards to how they react with you.?
Sometimes if we know the answers as to why, it is easier to find the solution as to how.
Sounds like they need the councelling you just need to find a way to resolve what ever this issue is that has been going on for so long, with the assistance of your husband, as apposed to him allowing it to continue..
