If she did, and even if she's upset about whatever she read, she's probably feeling more than a little rotten about reading your private words to your boyfriend and you'll both feel better for having it out in the open. You can stop worrying about whether or not she read your email and if she did, she can get it off her chest.
Now, if she did, try to talk to her about it without getting angry and yelling. And I don't think anybody's mother ever really thinks bad things about their daughter, even if they really deserve it. I've done some really questionable things, and my mother has always stood by me, and we get along well because of it. So she might not be thrilled about whatever you wrote to your boyfriend (or what you're doing with him), but you're still her daughter and she loves you.
So, to sum up: Ask her whether or not she did read your email. If she did, don't blow up at her, but just talk to her about it as reasonably as you can. And always, always close your email programs. Ok? [ sansira's advice column | Ask sansira A Question ]

But only if she asks about it....Write back if you need anymore advice! ((aLLy)) [ aLLyAtYoService's advice column | Ask aLLyAtYoService A Question ]

Say it was a friend who doesn't have the internet and was talking to their boyfriend at your house, and you couldn't IMAGINE of saying that sort of thing. But make sure the friend isn't a close one, maybe a neighbor or soemthing..hopefully she wouldn't go say anything to his mom. After that, start yelling at her for even thinking you could wrtie stuff lke that and how dissapointed you are that she doesn't trust you and you thought you had her trust ect. And of course then you can go for the whole "invasion of privacy act" that's always a good one too. Next time don't forget to delete your e-mail..if you want to save it.. save it in your computer somewhere where your mom would never check. [ hErEtoheLp's advice column | Ask hErEtoheLp A Question ]
