Sounds like you and your mother are sharing an Apple ID. Is that true? You need to be using your own. Do you also have an iPhone? Do you receive her text messages on it? Check her device to see if Text Message Forwarding is turned on in Settings>Messages, and if your Mac is selected as a place to receive them.
