Whenever him and I want to spend some alone time together, his mom throws tantrums and calls him and I very nasty names. My friend has tried to spend some alone time with his mom, so she wouldn't feel so left out, and him and I even tried to include her in some activities with us, but she still has fits. I have even tried suggested for her to visit some of her friends, but this still doesn't work. I don't know what my friend's mom's problem is. I have tried to be nice to her and include her sometimes, but my friend and I still like to spend alone time together. I'm 24 and my friend is 22, and I wish his mom would understand that I'm his friend not hers.

 Your best friend comes in that package and you will have to accommodate her mom.
The only way to clear this problem is to jettison both of them.
If you cannot , you will have to learn to tolerate her idiosyncrasies.

It could be that she's suffering from depression, or it could be that she's jealous and thinks you're taking her little boy away from her. I think this is something that won't change to be honest, so continue to spend time with your friend, and just let her throw her tantrums and ignore them.

 sounds like she's having periods of mania, such as in a bi-polar type disorder. It's difficult to deal with, and I'd ask your friend if she's been to a doctor, or had been diagnosed with that disorder or one which is similar in nature.
