Hey there mcerra,

That's a tough one you got there. If I may suggest you separate it into two separate issues.

1- Her drinking. She's not going to get a job if she's drunk and asleep. Ever.

2- The rent. If she were _not_ your mom, but just a roomate, what would you do?

I think a great place to find out how to deal with a relative who's addicted to alcohol is right next door in the Friends and Family forum.

Browse thru the "sticky" post at the top, read some of the posts, then ask the experts how they would deal with a similar situation. While you're doing that, a few meetings of al-anon might be helpful too. They did me worlds of good.

Mike
