Can you be arrested for “verbal abuse”?

Question by /wtfkire/: Can you be arrested for “verbal abuse”?
Okay, I love my girlfriend (soon to be fiance 🙂 ) very, very much.

However, there were some points in the beginning of our relationship where we BOTH generated this intense jealousy that lead us both to come to the conclusion that none of us will talk to the opposite sex.

Meaning, no guy friends for her, and no girl friends for me.

We’ve been content with this, however, her parents are not.
Her mom is a looney.

Me and my girlfriend were having a typical fight, and her mom actually told me, “If you don’t stop being jealous, or fighting with my daughter, I will call the police for verbal / mental abuse! It’s illegal to scare my daughter into not talking to boys!”

I would never, ever hurt her physically, that’s not the kind of guy I am.

However, I have said, “If you want to talk to guys, then leave me, I’ll just go.”

**** Read this carefully****
I do not care to hear your opinion on how outrageuous and rediculous that is. She’s the same way, so stick to the question.

Anyway, is this illegal somehow?

I know it’s not, I’m just posting to prove a point on how stupid that is.

I’m not holding a gun to her head.
