This person is my mother and have been told by the police to get a restraining order, but she is my mother. I am in the mental health field and do not want to lose what i have worked hard for only because she is mentally unstable. I have cut contact from her, but fear she will retaliate.

It sounds like you would need a restraining order against her. I know that this is unpleasant, but the alternative (giving her time to file false claims) is equally as unpleasant or more so.
No matter what you choose to do, it is very important that you document with dates & times any interactions that she may attempt to make with you or your child.
