writes:I was at a party with my boyfriend a few days ago. I was really drunk and ended up saying some really harsh things to him. He says he's ok with it now and forgives me but I haven't seen his mum since. Apparently she's taken it badly and I think she now hates me for what I said to her son/my boyfriend. Does anyone know how I can make amends to his mum and my boyfriend? but more his mum, I know I need to talk to her but I don't know how to go about it. Can anyone help?thank you .

If you sincerely want to make things right, the only thing to do is talk with her. Arrange to see her, just the two of you. Explain that you know that you said hurtful things, and that you're sorry. If you really care about your b/f, you have to make it clear to her that you do. A sincere apology can go a long way toward making things better. If she's willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that you do indeed care for her son, she might be willing to give you a pass on account of drink -- it's hardly the first time a drunk has said something they regret.
