I'm not sure what authority she's using to handle your money--she may be a guardian, conservator or using a power of attorney. In any case, you're entitled to an accounting of what money is there and how she has spent it and is spending it. As an adult, you are likely entitled to the money unless you're under some kind of court conservatorship. Take whatever papers you have regarding this to a lawyer to review, who can then tell you just how to proceed.
