My opinion:
Do Not Accept the Ring......period.
Take Mom to lunch and explain how badly you feel about her change of heart. Explain to her that the ring now carries this with it and therefor is not wanted. Then tell her how much you care for her son and hope these issues can be resolved...but be firm. Make her understand that she is not marrying her son....you are.
