Dito on the childhood, if the situation is a threat in any fashion you should take any opportunities for safety and stability. Like rancid said, leaving Mom especially in co-dependant situations like that is hard, but so is staying. Smart choice is to get away, the best way you can help her is to be a person living a stable life who choses right over wrong and treats her as she deserves, not how she wants. But a situation where a child has to be more responsible than the parent never seems to end well, she needs help that you alone cannot give, your part is to love her but not let her drag you down too, and you should be extra wary of exhibiting any similar traits and seek appropriate help if necessary. If there is any such thing.
