The original poster (OP) experienced significant emotional pain when her fiancé's mother actively excluded her daughters, leading to a breakdown in trust and an abrupt departure from a planned family trip.
The central conflict lies between the OP's need to protect her children from perceived slights and her fiancé's desire to maintain family peace by asking her to tolerate his mother's current behavior while promising future improvement.
