P.S. And I want to stress this: it’s not your fault that your boyfriend wants to leave you. He is incapable of a committed relationship and is struggling with his own issues. The fact that he isn’t committed to you has nothing to do with you being unlovable or undeserving of love.

Similarly, it wasn’t your fault if your mother behaved in a way which made you felt unwanted and rejected. Perhaps she was busy, stressed, didn’t get emotional nurturance from her own mother – there could be numerous reasons. But it’s not your fault. There’s nothing wrong with you. You deserve to be loved fully and completely!
