First, I'm sorry you're in the middle of this. I know how it hurts.
First, I don't think it is wise of your mother to keep his cards/letters from you. You should be allowed to have them -- all she is doing is causing more hurt and separation anxiety by not letting you have them.
Do you know WHY she won't let you see him? If your father is a DANGER to you, then she's right. BUT - if he's not, she has NO RIGHT to keep you away from your Dad. A father has a legal right to see his child (children) and he SHOULD go to the court and set up regular visits with you!!! Why hasn't he done this? The court would make sure you got to see your Dad -- unless he's a danger to you. Just because your mother doesn't "like" him right now is no reason to keep you away from him. 
Now with your boyfriend going away soon, your anxiety is getting even worse -- which is understandable. You need someone to talk to -- even if it's a school counselor. I realize that school is out for the summer, but perhaps you could call the counselor at home to see if he/she would be willing to talk to you.
I wish you the very best. I hope things change for the good & that you're able to see your Dad. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
