I think the time has come to cut out my mom and dad. I'm feeling guilty because their health isn't great, but I just can't let them treat me like this anymore. Background: about 2 years ago I got divorced after 15 years of marriage. My ex was emotionally abusive and I was miserable for many reasons. One being that I realized many years ago that I am gay. I am now in a serious relationship with a woman. We're getting married this summer and I'm happier than I have ever been. This has been a HUGE issue for my parents. Right after my divorce, I would wake up to near daily texts with scriptures about how I had destroyed my family with sin. My mom fully believes I'm going to hell. I refuse to pretend my partner doesn't exist and my mom has made it very clear that they would be uncomfortable with having her in their home. My mom's exact words were "if you were a drug addict I wouldn't let you bring drugs into my house either". They've been on a TO for about 6 months. I tried to test the waters by sending my mom a picture of the kids. This just opened the floodgates AGAIN for her judgement on my life. I do t even know where to go from here. I'm not even sure what advice I want/need. I just needed to get all that out.
