PERSONAL iPhone messages being sent to family members?

I imessage my friend (who owns an iphone) with my ipad fairly often. However, recently, for some reason, my mother, who owns an iphone and shares my apple ID, has been receiving our personal messages between one another. It's as if apple decided to include her in our conversation without consent. My messages to my friend go to my mom, and my friends messages to me go to my mom. None of us want this. What has happened, and how do I fix this?

Because the packages can't be seen, I can't remove the package that is messing my phone up. Can someone please help me on this, I tried about everything.

Iphone help: Syncing apps and updating IOS?

I just received an iPhone 4 from a friend, and some of her apps are still here. (These apps were downloaded from her account) I also want to update the IOS, but when I do, it tells me that all media files will be erased. I tried syncing apps to my account, but it won't transfer. I don't want to erase any of her files, just in case she needs it. How do I make sure that all the media files are kept, but I still get to download the newest IOS?
