change my iMessage account on Mac

I use my mums iCloud Apple ID account for everything except messages, so when setting up my MacBook Air computer I logged in with her Apple ID. although, it automatically logged me in to her messages account as well. I can't find any messages icon in the settings to change the Apple ID for just messages. I even sign completely out of her Apple ID and signed in with my own but it still kept her messages any ideas what I could do?

MacBook Air (2018 or later)

Go to Messages/Preferences/Accounts, select your mum's account, and delete it using the minus sign. Then click the plus sign and add your account.
