Hi. I thought no one would read mine either but everyone on this web site is very supportive. I'm sorry you're going through this. I went through the same thing with my sister. All I can say is keep posting on this site and Alanon really helps if you can find a meeting to go to. My husband is a functioning alcoholic and not as bad off as your mother or my sister but it's all relative. There are chat meetings on this site for family members of alcoholics so watch for those. They are so helpful. Take care.
hugs
