I would like to write a letter to my boyfriend's mom basically just telling her how much I love her son. I guess the big problem is that I don't want to sound stupid or come across like a psychopath!
She is a great lady, and I can definitely see her son and I getting married someday. My boyfriend has dated a few girls before that treated him very badly. He has suffered a very broken heart more than once, so I really want to do this to help her stop looking at me like I am just the next girl to try and break her son's heart.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there anything I should not say?

Keep it? Then she'll pull it out and use it against you if you ever fight with her son or something.
Trash it? Then you'll have wasted your time and think she doesnt care or anything.
Doing things in writing always holds the chance of it being misinterpreted and/or used against you later.
I think it would be better to just sit down with her and just "let her know" what youre thinking and how you feel. Then if she has comments back, you get them then and there... or if she does misinterpret, you can fix it then and there... or if she has questions.... well, you get the idea!
