This is a classic case of "Conditional Love". They will love you under certain conditions. Only if you practice their faith. Only if they approve of your boyfriend. Only if you be what they want you to be.
Sorry, dear, they really don't love you. Now that you are asserting your independance, they will continue to distance themselves from you.
The only thing you can do is stop seeing yourself through their eyes. Stop looking to them for the approval they will never give. It's time to see yourself as an adult.
