In laws moan

We meet up with the in laws every 2-3 weeks for a few hours. I don’t like spending time with them. They’re not very nice people. One topic of conversation this weekend was everyone laughing at SIL disabled ex. When they first got together his disability was endearing to them, he was brave etc. now they’re not together his disability is the butt of their jokes. It’s disgusting. They haven’t been together years, she moves in with her new fella next month and gets married next year so unsure why none of them have moved on yet. I’d met him many times. He wasn’t a bad person and they split up because it just didn’t work out, they had no kids or ties together. My aunt has the same disability and I feel physically sick listening to them. I don’t want my children anywhere near them. DH was uncomfortable but he’ll never say anything. I was uncomfortable too but I sit as far away as possible and hyper focus on the kids for a few hours so I don’t have to converse.

Not really sure what I’m looking for posting this. Should I say something? Should I stop going? I go for DH as it makes him happy. Anyone been in a similar boat?

I would be very busy now on. Kids too. Classes or parties or whatever. If your DH doesn't want to say no he can go on his own.
