Seeing the grand kids isn't the issue. Hubby says that everyone's moved on but me. I feel like every time I see them the old wounds resurface. I'm not usually an angry type person, but the two of them make me wanna throw up...this weekend is their yearly family weekend away together. He doesn't understand why I won't go n be with him n his kids. I'm in total confusion! Help!!! So would you wanna stay 3 days under the same roof and meals as family? He's making me think I'm crazy!!!!

I do see my grandkids (10 and 9)when they are with my son. They can stand the situation either, it's weird to them to now be living with grandma's hubby brother!!! I've tried expressing to hubby that I don't want to be part of his family get togethers. He says he just wants to make everyone happy and keep the peace, I said I think it's disrespectful to me that he hangs out and goes golfing with the two of them and doesn't tell me about it, I do d out from other people. I feel like he has more respect for them and their situation rather than my feelings toward them. I will never forget the hurt they both caused my entire family.

 That sounds - to me - like an adequate reason to insist that the creep stay elsewhere when he visits....

 I would not have him under my roof if he done that to my son. Tell him he is not welcome in your home, your partner should have more respect for you. Your son should come first here. Off course it is hard for you to be around your husbands family, especially your brother in law. But if you have grand children then it is important to spend time with them.

 Don't attend family functions where she and the BIL will be at? OR suck it up for the grand babies.
Fortunately there are NO rules that say you HAVE to love your in-laws or WANT to be around them.
Personally? I'd stick with suck it up for the grand babies. However, I would not waste much time socializing with them, so at family gatherings I'd focus on the kids and the people I ACTUALLY like.
I however, would NOT accept that my husband invited someone to stay at MY home without clearing it with me first. Be it his brother or anyone else. Just like I wouldn't just invite people to come live with us without asking him.
Have you talked to your husband about the situation at all? You say he doesn't seem upset by it, to me that is just odd that he is OK with it. But maybe talking it through can help you both?

My son did divorce her. However, I have a hard time at family functions on husband's side, seeing them and my grandkids. It's a constant battle, my husband doesn't seem to be upset at all.

I am just having a hard time with family functions on my husband's side seeing them and my grandkids. I want nothing to do with his brother or my ex daughter inlaw. It's putting a strain on our relationship. I don't know how to put it behind me when it's constantly in my face

Could I stay with my partner? Sure, but the BIL would be out on his ear. Just because I think he is a piece of crap for doing it. However, as much as you want to be momma-bear and protect your son, this is between YOUR son, his wife and your BIL. NOT you or your husband. Doesn't mean you HAVE to accept the BIL staying at YOUR home.
Maybe as a silver lining your son got "lucky" knowing what kind of wife he has and hopefully he will divorce her cheating bum.
