Dear S:

I didn’t understand: his mother didn’t want him to study in the U.S (your first sentence)?

Considering you stood by her son when he was sick, having been his only friend during that difficult time, and assuming his  mother knew you stood by him, she definitely owes you an explanation as to why she hates you… if she hates you. (After all, you never heard that directly from her).

Problem is: will she tell you the truth, will she even be kind enough to talk  to you. I don’t know. But if I was you, I think I will give it a try- talking to her. If you call her on the phone, I suppose you will suggest to her to talk at a more convenient time (if the time you call is not convenient) and/ or you  will suggest to her to talk in person- is that the plan?
