Seeing in laws - tips please

Tips to slowly let in laws back into our lives. We were no contact but they apologized after our second baby was born and they want to meet him. I don’t trust them, don’t like them, resent them, and don’t even like the thought of seeing them with my kids. But I know as a mom, I owe it to my kids to try to give them a relationship. Please give me all your tips and help. It messes with my mental health!
