Bless your heart ~ I can TOTALLY understand about your son, because I have a son EXACTLY like that who is constantly going from homeless one minute to having a place to stay the next. I never know where he's going to be ~ and he's 40 years old. He's been like this since he was 19yrs old ~ he's an alcoholic. I've tried & tried to help him, but I had to stop enabling him several years ago. I just can't do it anymore.
I have to agree with your therapist about your Mom. The "payments" you're having to make are just too steep. Why should you have to give up your peace of mind and your very sanity for her?  I'm sorry that she's ill ~ but she has made her choice as to how she wants the "family" to function.
I'm sure you DO yearn for a "normal" family, but I don't think any such thing exists.  I think we watched "Leave it to Beaver" too much. LOL Hold onto what you have and keep your friends close. You'll be much better off. God bless you and you're in my prayers. Hugs, Lee
