They did say "can be"...and I think that is fair enough. Its been my experience. But by no means means all docs or scientists lack in social ability or street smarts or emotional intelligence.
How about...people can be very smart in some areas, but might have deficits in other areas. That is accurate enough?
I think it goes deeper with HFB. I think if her in-laws wanted to get the whole family together in their golden years, then they could have treated their son's wife a whole heck of a lot better. Actions have consequences and maybe it's time her husband's family learns that.
I would send the husband and the kids if they wanted to go. I know you said he can't take care of them, but they aren't babies or toddlers. Is it your son that has CAPD?
Yes. A lifetime of "Daughter in Law abuse" can come back to haunt you.

Obviously.
Someone (like a doctor) may be very intelligent and unable to pick up subtle social clues.
He is their father and doesn't know how to care for them?? Huh?
The whole family sounds awful, father included. It's not the 1950s, I don't know anyone who would put up with a spouse who refused to care for their own children. I can't imagine sticking with that situation for 20 years.
For your husband's sake and your In Laws, who you say you are good with now, I say to go.
Just for one last finale and once it's over, you can be done with all of them if you choose.
Stay off to yourself with your kids if you can, don't interact with the ones you don't like (or don't like you) smile when you feel like smashing one in the face and go for a walk to cool off.
Do it for your hubby, your In Laws and I say even for your kids. Your kids will at least be able to say they met all their cousins. If they don't continue contact with them, that's on them, not on you.
IF you are so insulted you can take it, or if it gets into a family brawl for some reason, you can always book a room at another resort. Hubby and kids can go with you or stay.
My thoughts? The hell with this trip. Your husband is now married to you. You two have started a life together. He should see your needs and not the needs of his parents and siblings. You are not comfortable with your husbands family. You dread these visits. Your husband should be on your corner on this.
