I will listen. First I'm so sorry, that Christmas turned out the way it did. Perhaps what might help is to journal your emotions/feelings etc. I do know they have support groups for family members of alcholics called Al Anon.

I think what they might tell you, is first that alcohol abuse is your Mom's problem, not yours. Your problem is your own reaction to your Mom's behaviour, and the effect it has on your life. It is one of the hardest things in the world, to see one you love, go down a self destructive road. To know that despite your efforts, nothing seems to make a difference.

Once again I'm so sorry you are needing to deal with this.
