I would not throw your mom out because of this one incident. Having someone screaming in your face and swearing *is* very triggering, and I think she deserves forgiveness for it. I would possibly bring her along to your dd's next therapy session so it can be addressed and I would have your mom read some books that you choose to help her learn how to better deal with it.
I would make it clear that if it happens again, she will need to find a new place to live. She can file bankruptcy, use government assistance, find a roommate, etc. If she wants to live with you, she needs to realize that her behavior matters.

I *would*, however, give Mom responsibility for her life back, including financial. I'd give mom a deadline for moving out. Whether she has a plan, a job, income, etc is up to her but for her own sake, let alone my family's, Mom would be going.
