I second moving out, if possible. You need some positive influences and experiences in your life. If you start up your new life and get it on track (get a job, rent a place, become financially independent), then I think you will start to feel better about yourself. With that, your mom may come around too. But don't do this for her, do it for you! Because it seems like you're ready for a change.
It's probably hard to forget about your last boyfriend. Take the good experiences you had with him and look forward to more good ones with a new guy. You live in NY... a HUGE gay community is right outside your front door. There are tons of opportunities. You have to make yourself available though.
At 26, if you're ready, it's time to start living on your own. For your own good! You will grow a lot as a person and not have to worry about pleasing your mother. We're Americans anyway, we don't need our mommies doing our laundry and feeding us lunch till we're 30. haha.
