fast forward 25 years he loves me like his own son .
See, that's the crazy thing. She loved him while we were dating. Was angry that I moved in with him but got over it. Has gone shooting with us, we used to have her over for dinner often, etc. She is just all of the sudden convinced that he's "isolating me from my friends" and "keeping me at home" because he's "abusive and controlling".I think she's putting my father's characteristics on to my husband because she's upset that I'm not available to spend as much time with her now that I don't live with her. It wouldn't bother me so much if she wasn't spreading these lies to family andfriends...

well , i don't know your situation , but it sounds like you're still newlyweds . so its only natural that you want to spend a lot of time with your husband . mom must understand this fact .
i will tell you what changed my inlaws attitude towards me was when my wife and i had our first child .
children change everything , including me .
all i can say is try to be understanding of your mother and hopefully things will change for the better .
theres nothing more important than family . good luck to you .
