Chat with your MIL and don't give a flying hoot of attention to the rest of them. Don't try to force conversation. Make yourself as comfortable as possible, stick close to hubby and MIL and hope for the best. I always find that in difficult situations like this, the less said the better. That way I don't get myself into trouble with something I've said.
You've done your part. Make peace with it, and let it go. It's out of your control how they behave, so focus on yourself. Hugs, I'll be thinking of you.
PS - if it gets really bad, leave RIGHT after dinner. You don't have to put up with hurtful behaviour. Hug your MIL and quietly leave.
