Dear friend,
Thanks for asking your problems. From your description it appears to me that your mother has developed delusions more particularly delusion of persecution which means it can be a symptom of psychotic illness or can be a part of any mental illness like depression. Kindly visit a psychiatrist as soon as possible and keep an eye on your mother always as in such cases at times patients become suicidal too.
She should be treated with antipsychotics best after considering her health issues.
