Weve decided that he is going to move here with me, so that I can finish school and what not.
The problem is that my family is very untrusting of him. They figure that he must be crazy/criminal/deviant because he is willing to move up here to be with me. My one brother is down right hostile, and acting very childish.
I can understand the concern, but I did all of the appropriate background checks and what not before meeting him in person. I haven't met his family in person yet, but I have spoken with them through emails and myspace. I know that he is not crazy/deviant/criminal, but how do I convince my family?

Your family is probably right.
BTW this is coming from a 20 yr old who has been in many large MMORPG guilds and has been witness to at least serious online relationships that have gone this far and further. None of them turned out well.
Id stay away from online relationships like the plague.
The real question you have to ask yourself is how well do you REALLY know this guy? People are really good actors/liers, i know this cause im a great lier and i can make people believe whatever i want.
