That is a matter for your dad to deal with. Talk to him about it. He is the head of the family, and he the one with authority to handle the situation.

Given your Mom's behavior is impacting on your family's day to day functioning, have a  conversation with your Dad and your sister, and collectively begin to explore your options.  From your description, it would seem your Mom would benefit form professional help so perhaps your Dad could have a conversation with his GP and get some advice about what next step to take.  A GP can provide resources and referrals for your family and for your Mom specifically.  Also, reach out to extended family and friends so you are not feeling alone.

If you are scared she will hurt you, you can call the police and get her involuntarily committed.

More than likely you will have to get her involuntarily committed for while.   Call you local city or country health department.
