Double relative clauses
Hello, Good day, everybody.
Is it all right for me to follow a noun head with double relative clauses in which the noun serves as both subject for one and object for the other?
For example:
It was you who I love and made me cry.
the expanded sentences are like:
It was you who I love.
It was you who made me cry.
I just combined them into one sentence.
Thank you.

sorry, one more question about it.
If I change the relative pronoun from "who" to "which", does your answer still apply in this circumstance? for example:
It is etymology which I am interested in and enthrals me.
I ask this question because maybe there are two different types of personal relative pronouns for subject(who) and object(whom), so we cannot join them togethe
