Sorry - I never implied you were not behaving properly. I was trying to say the opposite ... your mother is not behaving properly --- she is dumping her life in your lap and daring you to take care of her.
I don't know how I would handle my own mother. She has put you in a difficult position. I am lucky to have two sisters who can deal with my mom so I don't have to.
Try to protect yourself internally as best you can by not taking her personally ... as difficult as that might be.
