Hi Fizzak!! 
Sorry to hear about your trouble with your family. Unfortunately, no one here can really offer you a diagnosis for your mother. There are several things that could be going on. The one thing being most evident is her drinking, on top of the medications she is on, is not helping her situation. It is VERY possible your mother is dealing with Alcoholism.
There may be some underlying mental disorder and my best suggestion is to help get her into therapy so they may evaluate her, and they can also help her get into treatment for any alcohol problems.
As far as her wanting to move closer to you. I would suggest talking to her about this. Tell her how you feel and share with her that you think you two being so geographically close might put more strain on your relationship and that you don't want to do that. Most likely, this will upset her and won't get you anywhere, but at least you made the effort.
Ultimately, if she does move back close to you, it will be up to you to set clear boundaries with her, and stick to them too. If you give her an inch, she'll take a mile!!
The most important thing is keeping you and your family healthy, happy, and secure.
Good luck to you, and keep us updated on how things go. We're here if you need us!!
