Should I Cut Him off completely?

I meet someone a year ago but he's 12 yrs younger... I'm 35 n separated with 2 kids... At first I wanted nothing to do with him because of his age, but he completely swept me off my feet n we fell totally in love... But his family didn't approve, they've meet me a few times wen i was in his home town n one or two other places but they ped me n never even said hello to me... They don't approve because they ave a family business which is worth alot of money but in there eyes I want it, which off course I want nothin to do with, all I want is the man I love... but a couple of months back they gave him an aultimatum.. they wanted him to take 50% of the business & run it but on one condition dat i am out of his life... They hate me without even knowin me, I've made mistakes in the past which they've heard n they now have come up with their own judgement without even sayin hello to me!!! for 6 months we've tried to be apart but we keep comin back through emails or texts or skype.. Only yesterday he said He loved me n if he could be my side he would only his family have put to much on him... I don't know wat to do anymore, I'm so heartbroken over the whole situation which I've never come across in my life!!! I could never treat someone de way him n his family have treated me... n deep down I feel he's usin me as a crutch n keepin me dere till he too can move on... I don't know why I'm on this I just feel I need guidance...
