Q: Can my mother threaten someone to get them to stop talking to me at the age of 20

A:
I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with this situation. It must be stressful to feel that your mother is interfering with your personal relationships.
At 20 years old, you have the right to decide who you communicate with. Your mother threatening someone to stop them from talking to you is generally not appropriate and could have legal implications.
It might help to have an open conversation with your mother about how her actions are affecting you. Setting clear boundaries can be important for maintaining healthy relationships. If you're feeling overwhelmed, consider reaching out to a trusted friend or counselor for support.
