Sounds like your mom has issues that goes beyond what you can understand. She's probably really emotional now with the separation, and is trying to use you to get at your dad. It's smart and mature to stay out of their issues. I would warn your boyfriend, in case your mom does try causing problems and isn't all talk. Even with her threats, don't give in. In this case you need to stay strong and be the bigger person.

This one is easy for me but then it's not my mother being foolish.
You go to the boyfriend and you say "my mom is over reacting to my being an adult and she may come to you and say things that are not true to try and HURT OUR relationship. Then you ignore your mother and hopefully if she does try to tell your bf lies he will say "I'm sorry I do not wish to hear what you have to say" and either hang up or walk away.
I would not even acknowledge your mother's bad behavior. Just keep saying "this is between you and dad and I am NOT getting involved"
BTW staying out of your parent's separation is VERY adult and mature of you and the right thing to do)
