I’ve finally found someone after a tricky divorce and depression. But my family are really wary of my new partner because they know I’ve been hurt before. I don’t want to push them away but there concerns are causing issues in my new relationship. I don’t want to spend my life alone and I love my family but how do I balance my lifestyle. I feel like people are trying to control me and my choices. I want to be happy. This shouldn’t be so hard.

Well done for finding a good relationship as that isn't easy. I don't think your family mean to come across as controlling but it's obvious that they care about you very much which is great. Maybe they think you are on the rebound or something.
I would just thank them for their concern and reassure them that you are ok. I bet you would feel the same as them in their situation wouldn't you? It's hard to see those we love in a bad place and feeling helpless to do very much. x
