With the limited information that you have provided, I had to guess the problems faced by you. Some of it can be understood by reading below
If you want to keep mom's iPhone independent of your devcie then best would be to have a separate Apple ID for your Mom.
Otherwise, there are basically three types of sharing
- Text Message and
- Calls on the other device
iCloud Photos & Messages: iCloud now keeps your entire messages history updated and available on all your devices — even when you set up a new device. Learn how to keep all your messages in iCloud.
- Set up text message forwarding
- On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. On your Mac, open Messages, choose Messages > Preferences, then click iMessage. Make sure that you're signed in to iMessage with the same Apple ID on all your devices.
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding.*
- Choose which devices can send and receive text messages from your iPhone. If you're not using two-factor authentication for your Apple ID, a verification code appears on each of your other devices: enter that code on your iPhone.
