I am so incredibly anxious about this. Is this fair?

So I am now 24 and when I was 20 I met a guy while living abroad and we were together for 5 months. We became so close and even lived together. After 5 months I had to return to my country (I visited him a few months later) and he was going to move to my country a few months after that so that we could be together but COVID happened and were not able to see eachother for 2 years but we still spoke everyday. As soon as covid finished I went to visit him again. He can't come to my country due to him needing a work permit so I went to him and we were still madly in love. I went back a few months later and we had a good time again. I am now planning my 4th visit to him next week.

The reason why we have had to wait so long for him to come here is because of Covid and problems with obtaining a work permit. I can't wait to see him and his family next week but I am so anxious to tell my family. The first and second time I went to visit him they started shouting at me and they have never asked what I like about him or anything else about him really. I believe its because he is of a different race. My mam always tells me to move on with my life even though she knows deep down that I love him. I am now 24. Is this even fair how my parents are treating me in this situation? By the way my boyfriemd has submitted all his documents to get his work permit so he will be coming in the next few months so that we can be happy together. Do you think their behaviour is ok?
