Welcome, to SR, MisjudgedDC. Keepinon is right, I do not think any one here is going to judge your mom. I'm sorry for what you've been going through, but am glad you're reaching out for support.
Please do read the stickies at the top of the forum. One book that helped me understand the disease was 'Under the Influence'.
Unfortunately, we're not able to dictate what our alcoholic's 'bottom' is. We can give our A's the information and support they need to seek recovery, but they have to choose to walk that path themselves.
Alanon is a very great support too. Please remember to take care of yourself, too.
Wishing you peace and continued strength.
