I fully agree with Anita and was going to say the same thing. I myself am being ridicule for my relationship choices. Please understand that they have a different relationship with their parents than you. Allow them to heave the kind of relationship they want and you the freedom to do the same.

A wise person once said.

Family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in you life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile & who love you no matter what.
