family vs. boyfriend

my boyfriend and i first started dating a year ago but we weren’t allowed to see each other for the first four months of our relationship because my parents didn’t approve. i understand why they didn’t approve because he did struggle with substance abuse and mental health issues but he overcame all of those problems and he’s doing really well. although my parents invite him to our family events and they’re trying to form a relationship with him, i still feel like i’m disappointing them by dating him. i love him so much and i know that that’s all that matters but should i let my parents’ opinions on him change the way that i feel about him?
