I disagree with others saying to disown her. You should respect your parents and show interest in helping them. My father overcame years of severe physical abuse from his mother. He doesn't hate her and was able to forgive her. He knows she isn't right in her head which isn't her fault. Myself as were my parents have been raised to respect your parents, elders and authority figures as well as others. Treat everyone how you want to be treated.
Your best interest is to talk with a psychiatrist about your mother then you can go from there and find a way to get her the help she seems to desperately need. My mother got so bad with severe depression she was contemplating suicide. I attempted and failed (thankfully) to take my own life a few years ago due to severe depression, social/relationship issues and other things going on at the time. I was able to rise above that once I sought ways to improve myself and am more stable than I've been.
I honestly don't know
also being broke, jobless, and not having a car makes talking to a psychiatrist difficult
