Hi Carol, I'm sorry for have heard this. Sometimes the things that hurt us more come from the people that supposed to be our support. This situation might hurt you a lot but try thinking in another point of view, If they have committed this attitude it might be because in some way is what they believe that would be good for you, but you know most than everyone that it's hurting you, so, be confident in your goals. They might not understand your point of view but share to them how you are feeling about it and tell them they cannot decide for you, but at the same time try to forgive them it's the only way you can heal this feeling that is hurting you. Forgiveness is the key. I hope you can have better days, and if for some reason this text doesn't help you, my apologies anticipatedly.
