Make things right: Perhaps losing your relationship with your mother is a bigger deal to your boyfriend than he would let on. I think it's time to put pride behind him and go talk to his mother and get things right. That relationship is too important.

Anger: It sounds like your friend is still very angry and upset with his mother, and this is affecting him long after the argument. Disagreements and hurt between family members is very common. Upset can usually dissipate with time and mutual discussion. Depending on the severity of your friend's difficulties and the length of time his response is lasting, he may benefit from talking with a therapist.
