This is me:

This is me with the LOML:

I used to wear a fair amount of makeup, had purple hair, I have lots of piercings /tattoos and my ears are stretched to about an inch... when my SO came home from MOS school, I was going l be meeting his family so I toned down my makeup, died my hair back to my natural color, started wearing my piercings less (flipping my septum in), cover my tattoos, and even took my plugs out months ahead of time to let the holes in my ears close. I wanted them to get to know me and like me for me, not judge me based off of my appearance. I have NEVER had anyone dislike me (especially for no reason) including parents of anyone I’ve been with. Well technically, his grandparents (dads parents) raised him and they’ve loved me from the very beginning, his father likes me, his little sister... idk lol she’s hard to read (17 years old). His mom (Filipino) on the other hand, doesn’t like me. Get this! Her reasoning is because I remind her of his ex because i am an artist and work with children with disabilities (like his ex did) and because I’M MEXICAN!😒 I am multiracial (like equally mixed with 9+ ethnicities, one of them being Filipino) but me being Mexican is what stands out the most to her. I guess her eldest son had his heart broken by a Mexican girl years ago (she cheated) and has made her dislike Mexican females! Wtf? She has never told me to my face but has spoken with my SOs grandparents about it and they have both had my back and defended me. I’ve tried reaching out to her and offering to do things for her but she gives me the cold shoulder and acts fake when I’m around. His father asks him when I’m going to visit again but this makes me feel so uncomfortable😩 i changed myself to “fit in” but she still doesn’t accept me (I hate that I changed and have stretched my ears again etc.)🤷🏻‍♀️I won’t stop trying to be cordial with her and I don’t dislike her for it... I just don’t understand it🤦🏻‍♀️ anyone else go through this? How do/ did you cope? Did it get better? I want to have a good relationship with my future MIL but she won’t allow it and it sucks.😞 Should I even worry about it anymore?

P.S. my SO is caucasian and Filipino... I’m Filipino, Caucasian, Mexican, Chinese, African American, Native American, etc.
