Sounds like you're being the parent here, not her. There's no reason for you to stay in that house because you shouldn't have to play "mum" for your mum. She's the one going out and spending her money on stupid shit, and she's probably charging you so she has an excuse to buy even more stupid shit.
But if you want to stay, then she is entitled to charge you as much as she wants for rent. In that case, you should try and work out with her what's appropriate and what's not. $500 a month is appropriate, since it was what you're roommate and sister were paying, so bring that up. If she doesn't, then live with $600. You shouldn't have to provide food for her son though, she should be using her own money for that.
Is it normal that my mom makes me pay rent like this?

I agree. The OP needs to move out.
