Yes, yes and yes! Unfortunately, that is her little miracle boy and some mothers are more attached than others. You may want to express to your boyfriend that you feel like the mother smothers your relationship at times.

Has he ever had any other girlfriends before? If you're the first, or the first serious one, then she might just not want to let him go. Does she have a husband? How is the relationship between them? These things can give you some insight into her personality.

I personally advise against talking to the mother about this, although I am pretty sure other people are going to tell you to. Yes, in a perfect "everything's awesome" world, you can openly communicate your frustrations to her. But in this situation, confronting it directly might backfire on you, and she might become resentful and further strain the relationship.
