My family is constantly telling me that my boyfriend is mentally abusing me by the things he does such as wakes me up when I am sleeping and thinks it is funny. Or makes excuses for not helping with simple tasks around the house.

They also being my family tells me that my boyfriend will never marry me, and if we do get married he will leave me after we have kids. And if we have kids he will neglect them and treat them they way he treats our cats. (favoritism to one and ignore the other)

Every boyfriend I have had they always have told me I was being abused mentally. Do you think that they are the mental abusers and not my boyfriends. Is this possible?

Lately, I have been feeling that my family is the reason I am seeing a therapist. Just listening to how negative they are in regards to my relationship, no wonder I seem to make problems that aren't even there.
