My family won't support me
In order to understand this I suppose you will have to know a thing or two about me. I'm a very giving person, all I do is care for others. Constantly. My constant caring for others has left me with a lifetime that is less than desired. I've never been truly happy. Ever.. because I never do a damn thing for myself.
After coming out of a really terrible two and a half year relationship, with someone who was controlling, and manipulative and just overall really emotionally abusive. I met a wonderful man. We talk for hours every night, we connected on a level neither of us has ever experienced before. Any childhood prince charming, I could have ever dreamed up, personality, physically, everything. He blows out of the water. He's the first person who truly has complete respect, for me. And he's the only person I've ever been able to talk to fully. He's much like myself, in that he's really caring and a great listener. So being able to talk to him is amazing.
The downside? He's married. You knew something was coming. Anyway, their marriage is one that has been deteriorating for years, and finally hit an all time low after his mother died. And she showed no compassion and pulled away even more from him and their two young boys. She's in the military and is currently on a 1 year leave. She comes home after six months, at which point they are going to discuss their divorce and separate.
So basically.. everything between the two of us is perfect, and our future is set. We are madly in love and I am more than excited to bring three new people into my life.
However, my family does not support me. They do not believe that they are going to divorce, and they just think that he is going to hurt me. While I'm not being completely blind to that option that this may happen.. in my heart I know it won't. The moment she stopped being mom, he knew he had to end the marriage.
My family refuses to speak to me about the matter until they see divorce papers, and my brother refuses to look at me.. let alone speak to me.
What do I do? Just wait it out without the support of my family until I can show them "look here are the papers...and he's still by my side!" or.. do I fight for their support?
Help me.
