My boyfriend and I are very much in love. I am 20 years older than he is but this has never been an issue for us. We are also in a long distance relationship, which we have made work well for us. We are devoted and committed to each other. I am on my second visit to him in Turkey, a much more conservative culture than my own American life. Because of the social customs we cannot sleep together when I am there. A few days ago he came to visit me when his mother was sleeping. She woke up and overheard us, realizing we were together in an inappropriate manner for an unmarried couple. (We did have an online ceremony a couple of years back that to me was a binding hand fasting if not a legal wedding.) He considers me his wife, I consider him my husband. After all of this stress he wants to leave her and come back to the states with me but he can’t get a visa until he completes his military requirement. Anyway, there is a lot of animosity from his mother towards me now. She said she hates the thought of him with me. I need to heal this. I don’t want the karma of destroying the mother/son bond. What can I do. I am falling into a deep depression and I am here for five more weeks. Please help me. Thank you.
Lost in Love…nowhere to call home…
