Proudwife: Thank you so much for the insight! I agree with everything that you said. I can completely understand why my mom does not accept C, and why she does not approve of our relationship. But that won't change the way I feel about him and hopefully it won't change my relationship with my mom. Do you think that your relationship with your husband put extra tension on your relationship with your mom? Did it change your relationship with your mom? That is one of my biggest worries. My mom is one of my very best friends, and this has been quite an adjustment for us. She has never not approved of a decision I have made. And I have never had to censor my life quite so much when talking to her. I just don't want her to unfairly judge C any more than she already does.
Sisu: It was really hard for me to realize that others are not going to be as open minded and non judgmental as I am... I think that was a reality check for me, when I decided that there are quite a few things about my relationship with C that I just need to keep to myself. I try my best to let my family only see the very best of our relationship, and I always always keep the "lows" to myself. It's hard... sometimes I wish there was someone close to me who could be completely impartial that I could talk to about all of this. But I guess it comes with the territory.
