As said, it all has to do with Moms health. Is there Dementia? Can she do for herself?
Is it financial? Are the utilities, upkeep, food, etc more than her income? If this is the problem then call Moms bluff. Tell her if her abuse continues, you will move but by doing this...she may lose her home. So she has a decision to make. Be kinder or lose the house. You and husband need a sit down. Is it worth putting up with her abuse?
If she was always difficult, you had to know she wouldn’t change when you moved in. If she suddenly changed, she may resent your living there and if she has dementia, many people who suffer from it can be unreasonably mean.
Not knowing the situation, all I can say is, “move”. Do what you need to. Use her funds to pay for upkeep of her house. If there are no funds, file for Medicaid and look for a facility, or, if she is healthy and functional, leave her to her own devices or put the responsibility on another family member. You tried and it didn’t work.
