I dont understand why my family can't get that through their heads. They always put me down with all the negative comments they tell me.I tried telling them how i feel and they just don't get it still. What can i do to convince them to be happy for me and support me?

i think they didnt like him in the first place. so they couldnt say anything to you while he was nearer ...

bqagirl2692 is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thank you for your advice and i appreciate that you took the time to help. I forgot to mention that my family has met him and when he was here, they seemed to get along great but now that he is gone, they are being two-faced and say those negative comments. what do you think from that?

well, first of all, your family is only concerned about your own welfare. you may know him and trust him, but they dont. so naturally they are cautious and trying to warn you.
why dont you try and introduce him with your family members too. that may help

 First of all well done too both of you for keeping a long distance relationship going for so long. it is one of the hardest things you will have to deal with as a couple and it shows that you both are and how much you mean to one another. you would think that your family would see this and be suportive but if they can't it is their problem not yours. Tell them straight once and for all how you feel about the guy and that their negitive atitude is doing nothing but driving a wedge between you and your family.
If they still cant except it then just carry on with your relationship regardless they may come round later.
keep it going with what you have with your bf its hard to find that kinda commitment between 2 people.
its your life live it how you see best.
hope everything works out ok for you
