My grandparents have always been very encouraging and supportive, but the thought of disappointing them would be heartbreaking to me.

What might they be disappointed about?
Quote:
I just don't understand how to be more independent and not rely on my parents so much.
Also, I poll them for really big things and very minute things.
I just feel I've been plagued by making so many bad choices that I'm afraid to make any choices without polling my family.

If you were riding a bicycle and got hit by a car, you might be very skittish about riding a bicycle again. You might have to practice first again, in a safe place like an empty parking lot or a very quiet street.
I wonder what you would think of practicing making small decisions on your own? You would go out of your way, at least once per day, to decide something without consulting any of them, and not tell them what you did. You would do this consciously, purposely.
If you ended up consulting with them, or telling them afterwards, you would just note that, not judge yourself, and commit to trying again on the next day.
What do you think?
