Hello Mlynn, sorry you're going thru all this hardship.
Can I ask if your mom is going to al-anon meetings? She can get a lot of support there and a lot of suggestions on how to maintain her finances without letting your father mess it up for her. If she's not going to meetings do you think you could introduce her to the "Friends and Family" forums next door here on Sober Recovery. There's a lot of fine ladies there who have a lot of experience in building up finances in order to leave an alcoholic husband.
And speaking of meetings, are you getting yourself to any? I find that being able to share in a real life meet with people face to face is awesomely helpful. You mentioned in another post that you don't have insurance for counseling. Although meetings are not the same as counseling, they are _very_ helpful and they've done me a world of good. Have you been able to find any al-anon or ACoA meets nearby?
Mike
