Sounds like your mom’s new phone might still be linked to your Apple account or phone number, or maybe iMessage is mixing things up. Double-check that her phone is signed in with her own Apple account and not yours. Also, make sure her number and email are set up correctly in Settings > Apps > Messages > Send & Receive.
