ever since i was young, i've always craved my mother's approval, felt like i needed it for me to be happy. after coming out, and being told by my mom that i was going to Hell, i became depressed. so much so that i tried to commit suicide. then, a bright ray of hope entered my life. i met the woman that's now my wife. i've never been happier in my life. at 28 years old, i realize that i now need to cut the apron strings and begin to feel validated in my own life seperate from her. my wife says that i need to keep her in my life, because as much as her(my mom's) disaproval hurts, i only have one mom, and i need to honor her. my wife doesn't particularly like my mom, but treats her w/respect. what can i do to strike a harmoneous balance btwn my indepence w/my wife, and not abandoning my mom?
