Her being gone is a great break for you regardless.
It is hard...there are alot of hard things when it comes to an alcoholic loved one.
The best thing to remember is tough love is still love and hurting shortly is better than hurting in the long run.
That being said its ok to have boundaries, to be stern and clear with her and to take time away from the relationship. Dont buy into her only in moderation bs when it comes to her drinking....truth is and reveals itself in time ..

There is no moderation, no little bit and no just the weekends.
This is only a ploy for the alcoholic to continue drinking.
They hold dearly and tightly to it until they are faced with a choice sink or swim. Sometimes they never swim
