Unfortunately, your mom is right. Once you give your dad money, it's his money, not yours, and you can't control what he does with it. Nor can you force him to confront his alcoholism, stop lying, or be a better person. The best you can is protect yourself from the consequences of his choices, and that means getting out of there.
