In Laws...why are they so nasty???!!!!

Me and my boyfriend have been together for over 2 years now. He lives with me at my mums for the time being before we move abroad. Trouble is i HATE his family! Weve never got on and they started it all when his dad called me fat one day but i was told it was a joke and "take it on the chin" which i couldnt because i had put a few pounds on and wasnt feeling happy about it. Then his step sister called me a control freak (which i am not! and my boyfriend agrees im not) and at a family do last christmas she threatened to punch me, telling me her and her family love my boyfriend more than i will ever do! I havent been round for months now but my partner says when he goes to visit they always ask about me? Ive never had an apology and when ever its brought up with my bf he says i should just be nice to them and get on with them (he thinks their total saints and never stuck up for me when all this s**t cracked off)
Its these times of the year i dread....xmas....knowing youve got to go round their place as your bf will want to....i need advice!! xx
