Maybe there is no good solution.

Maybe she's a nasty old lady who mistreats her daughter. Maybe OP's first responsibility is to herself and her own nuclear family, and the nasty old lady who mistreats her might have to settle for assisted living and/or memory care professionals to care for her.

it's sad, but lots of things in life are. What's also sad is OP running herself down and being unable to be a good parent to her own kids because she's so focused on pleasing a parent who will never be happy with her.

op here, thanks for those who offered empathy. I think I just needed to vent .My mom is sometimes nasty and then next day really sweet but mostly she is just such a freaking waif, she calls multiple times a day, just kind of confused and complaining, and wanting something. And because I'm the onl person out here, I'm "it" for everything.  Meanwhile my son is having a mental health crisis and I just feel like I'm hitting a point where I am going to have a breakdown myself. I dont know how to help either of them. He refused school today and is now breaking stuff.  [/quote]
