<human>: Like the title says, I'm 19, my SO is 24, and his mother is in her late 50s-60s. Basically a few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I were going through a hard time in our relationship. We've been dating for about a year and a half.

Anyways, we mended our relationship but his mother doesn't want me around and dating her son. We got in a bad fight outside one day and the neighbors told her what happened, out of context. They definitely did a good job making me look like the bad guy. (Without knowing the full situation of course.) I fully understand how inappropriate it was to fight outside, in a public setting. I don't think my SO defended me enough on this.

She's a single mom and he lives with her to help with bills and around the house. His living situation probably won't change for a few years or so, so his moms opinion of me does matter quite a bit. We never were too close before this, but she was always very nice and spoke fondly of me.

I was thinking of sending her really nice flowers this Mother's Day and maybe a short message. Does anyone have any advice or tips or anything?? Also she doesn't speak English fluently, she's very traditional and religious Eastern European.

I'm a full-time student, with a job, and heading to a University next year. I do community service and have supported her son through extremely difficult times over the past year. I'm not a bad person by any means, but she seems to think so.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: SO's mom hates me and doesn't want me to date her son. She's foreign so communicating with her is hard. How do I get her to like me again?
