I would consider her a alcoholic and I'm going to try and encourage her to get some counselling for it and I will definitely use my psychologist to help me establish boundaries. I don't know if she will want to get help yet but I'm going to hope for the best.

Addiction in family members is very hard to deal with. I am pleased that you have a psychologist who can help you navigate the challenges that go with dealing with your mum and her behaviour. You aren't alone in this by any means.
