    Obviously, you're not  in the US, but I'm sure you live in a city that will help you out.  There's a way for you to live your own life (which you've earned) but still be there for your mother.  It's hard to say, because you didn't give any details about her worsening health, but the accusations and aggressiveness sound like dementia or Alzheimers.  Has she been diagnosed?  I ask because these diseases reach a  point where professionals HAVE TO be involved. One person can't be expected to be there 24/7.  So you need to research what's out there.  She may be getting close to the point where she can't live alone.
