I am 33 years old. Not permanently employed. Even when I give her money, it is not enough. I feel it is too much cause I can't even buy things for my kids, partner and myself. Suicidal thoughts always in my mind.

More info would be helpful: is your mother old enough for Medicare and social security? If she lives with you she needs to go. She can contact social services for her county to apply for an Elder Waiver or Section 8 housing (govt subsidized). She can get food stamps, etc. Your family comes first and you must defend this. She obviously doesn't care about you or them. Therefore, she must go. If she lives with you, you can evict her. If you live with her, you must move out. It will be hard at first but it will get better once she stops sucking off of you.
