The best way to deal with your mother is to open up to her and be honest with her. Tell her how you are feeling. How much you want to see them, you are an adult now so you are free to visit them if you like. Tell her you understand that she is just trying to protect you and that you appreciate it but you need to get to know your dad's side of the family as well. It may take her some time to get used to the idea but at the end of the day this is your choice to make. Being nervous is completely normal so try not let it throw you off. Nerves are going to come so just try taking deep breaths and reassuring yourself that you are doing the right thing.
