From my experience the only thing you can do with people like that is develop a thick skin. I know how much it hurts and how depressing it is for your mom to treat you that way. At least for me I had this ideal of what a mother's love should be. All I wondered was what was so wrong with me that she treated me the way she did. Well there was nothing wrong with me it was a sickness in her. There is nothing wrong with you! It is a sickness in your mom. Whether it's the drinking, a mental illness or something else it is her problem. You don't deserve to be treated this way and I'm sorry for what you are going through. My best advice though is get a thick skin and let the insults roll off you like water off a duck's butt. Just know that the insults aren't true. They have nothing to do with you. They can't hurt you unless you start to believe they are true and they aren't. You can also try to tone her out. Just ignore her when she starts being negative. Think of a song, something you watched on TV, a person you want to date or anything that will drown her out. Good luck to you
