I hate to say it, but it's understandable that they worry. When I was your age, I met most of my friends online, and my parents did not approve either. Even at 22, I lie to my parents frequently about where I meet friends because it's easier for me to not have to defend my internet choices. But through all of that, I know they worry for good reasons. Meeting people on the internet is dangerous, and they worry that the person may be dangerous. Your boyfriend isn't, but it's a legitimate concern, and I think acknowledging that with them is a good step for you to fix the issues.

Now, I think there are a lot of deeper issues with your parents. You said that your mom found messages of you saying you hated them. Why do you hate your parents? When did this start? This goes beyond your boyfriend, and I think these issues might be important to face in order to have a relationship with your boyfriend. I have a very shaky relationship with my parents as well, so by no way am I invalidating them. You might have good reasons. But working on that relationship might be the only way you will get your boyfriend back.

Good luck.
