hi alisha,
I am so sorry to hear about the struggles you are going through. I'm not sure if this will help you but I work with addicts in recovery and from my experience I want you to first try and understand that this is a disease. It may seem as if your mom is choosing to drink, but in reality if she is having health issues her body is probably making her drink so she doesn't get sicker. Odd I know but that is how it works. Once someone starts drinking it become their life in some ways(i am only refering to addicts) It begins to control every aspect of their lives and they make decisions that most of us cannot understand. It is completely wrong how she is treating you and the rest of your family and I pray that one day she realizes that she needs to go to rehab, and become sober so she can start her life over with all the people she loves in it. I will pray that your mother and the rest of your family. be blessed
