I ranted about my boyfriend's mother to him and she saw the conversation - now I don't know how to fix it?
I said some seriously bad things...
Basically we went through months of her emotionally abusing him but eventually it came to a stop, I thought it was all over, but today she reverted back to that. I was really angry because she was making him feel as though he had a problem and he was unwanted, so I began ranting about her to him. The trouble is...she then wanted to read his messages to me. And she saw everything. I even called her a 'c-u-next-tuesday'...
I don't know how I can face her again. I was angry but I know saying the things I did was largely unjustified. How can I fix it?

Hello,
If I did not value someone elses opinion more than mine, new doors wouldn't have been opened to me.
"Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? Their is more hope for a fool than for them." Proverbs 26:12
A bf/gf comes and goes but what then of the relationship of the mother and the son? If you care for him then what about finding ways to create peace between them? So she may need correction just like everyone, but you were blind by anger towards her, your mind decided you were trying to be on his side but you caused more harm than good.
You can admit the truth that you chose to help him but went about it all wrong or say sorry for the way you acted and listen to everything she has to say without wanting to defend yourself.
When anyone is in a bad mood your mind may convince you to feel as if they're a problem. That you should get mad at them for how they are acting. But love says that they really needed you in that moment to help them through it.

Woah... If she's important to him I would go see her privately and tell her you're sorry for what you did, you didn't mean any of it, you were just upset because of the circumstances, you know there's nothing you could say or do to make up for it but you'd like to try and anything she would like you to do you'd do it. Make the apology as sincere as possible and make sure she knows how much you regret what you said and that you know it was wrong of you and that you were totally out of bounds and it'll never happen again
