My mother drinking is making me start to develop feelings of resentment towards her and I dont like it. Im not close to her anymore. She thinks we are, but we arent. I feel worried to even talk to her about anything. She also has this idea in her head that she is the ideal mother.

But back to the point. Why do i get so anxious and angry when she drinks? I often get to the point where I get argumentative and confrontational with her. Also, why does she drink? Even though she knows I hate it.
She is an alcoholic that why she is drinking. Ask yourself how many people in your family drinks beside your parents? Have you thought about going to an alcoholic anonymously and seeking help? I'm sorry that you are going through this. Is there someplace you can go when she drinks?
