When I presented the case for a need for an antidepressant to my doctor, after my mom died, he got all 'Mother Teresa Syndrome" on me and said, "You need to experience this without drugs so you can grieve properly."

Your mother's mother's face

The next level in the progression of the "your mother" insults, after "your mother's mother" or "your mother's face". Should be used in the same meaningless fashion as "your mother", perhaps when you've run out of insults, or need a step up from the lame "your mother" insult already directed at you.
Person 1: What up
Person 2: Your mother
Person 1: Yeah well your mother's mother
Person 2: OHHH well your mother's mother's FACE!
Person 3: BURN!! He's got you there...

leave me in your mother

Should really be "by your mother" as in "by the Bible", but the speaker is swearing by his companion's mother, which is really an insult. So it's like saying: "By your mother, leave me alone!"
"Why do I always have to take the garbage out? Can't YOU ever do it?"
"Leave me in your mother!"
