the only solution for an abused woman is to leave the abuser, and for many reasons that is difficult or even seen as impossible by the abused woman...
i'd vote for going, without the kids perhaps, and keeping that lifeline open for your mom...
with a little luck she'll come to see that she needs out and she'll need to know you haven't abandoned her because of her poor choice in men so you can help her get out...
short of counseling, she may not ever reach the point of escaping the abusive relationship but you need to actually be there to be there for her if that time finally comes...
otoh, those suggesting not going have made a number of good points too...
tough call anyway you slice it...
i don't envy you...
