TL;DR Racist In-Laws. Being a Puerto Rican American in America is terrible right now. Especially living in the deep south. I get so much disrespect from my peers. To make it worse I married into a family with strong racist roots mainly from my father-in-law and it has gotten so bad since 2024.

My wife has two fully white daughters and a half black son from previous relationships. Her dad and mom treat the girls like royalty but treat him like crap. Not to mention me and her have a son together but he looks white so they treat him better than my wife's half black son.

I found out my father-in-law has been talking trash about me to my kids because he thinks I'm a lazy Hispanic even though I do more for all the kids then there real fathers and my wife because she has a short temper and can't stand being around them.

I want to leave but I feel bad for the kids because we live with my in-laws because my father-in-law is an over the road trucker so we take care of my Mother-in-law and they have told me my kindness to them is the only reason they haven't run away and my in-laws always yell at them and treat them like 3rd class citizens and I don't want them to suffer. I don't know what to do anymore but I can't stay much longer.

It is wearing me out mentally to the point I don't even sleep at night anymore. My wife isn't helping much either as she tells me I am overreacting and that they aren't that racist.
