Relatives - it's the old can't live with them can't live without them bind. This too shall pass. But the world is divided into those who cannot and will not understand or approve, those who don't understand but will empower, those who want to understand but don't quite .. you can do the rest of the combos.
All I can say - based on my experiences, you are likely at least as hard for them as vice versa, AND this too shall pass. To this day nobody in the family gets me, nobody in my wife's family gets her, but at least there is siome distance.
If it is not clear,. you have my sympathy, for what that is worth.
