I agree that moms can be overprotective in the D process. Afterall, she is your mom and not your H's mom. She is fighting for you in a way that she knows. I am glad that my parents did not know about the A. My MIL does but she is supportive but not intrusive. It all depends on personalities.
H is probably thinking with "his own logic", "Well, if I can build up this NEW family ASAP, then it will make this new relationship RIGHT". Funny how twisted their logic can become.
