Alright, so if this is something for right now, only have an hour:
Move the node but please follow @justin_shocknet's advice and remove tor, or at the very, very least change the service keys after disconnecting. You do NOT want to be correlation-mapped through service keys moving to mom's IP.
Alternatively if you have more time than an hour: back up the wallet, store the backup on 2 encrypted usb sticks which you put in a safe(ty deposit box), make sure it's there and wipe the box. Can restore everything when you retain the wallet, all you need is sync.
Ok, all right.
But really can't understand the problem to had a tor node.
I think that is a simple way to help the tor community.

If your goal is to help "the community" while with high probability doxxing your IP-to-tor-key mapping across family members, then there is no problem I guess? It's cheap to change though? So why risk it?
Changing keys is absolutely not a problem, in fact it was absolutely planned.
