Okay, let's track the recent events:
Last week, my mom says she wants to get sober for herself, not for us. This is a good thing, as anyone familiar with addiction knows.
The next night, she gets completely smashed. This is especially bad, as she has a probational meeting that night, and will now miss it, meaning she could go to jail. We find out we have to pay another fine.
Tonight, she asks my dad to take her to see her friend, an old man named Tony. He says fine, until he finds out they'll be at a bar. Then he refuses to take her. She claims he's trying to control her and he's "abusing" her. He asks why she can't just meet him somewhere else. She doesn't answer.
She comes in my room, and I say that my dad just doesn't want her at bars. She says, "That's what he wants you to think!" after admitting that if someone offered her a drink, she wouldn't refuse.
What.
Then she threatens to leave him and begins railing on him, saying he's terrible and blah blah blah. My dad points out that she hates him and constantly calls him a bad husband, and can't trust him, but has no problem with him paying her fines. "Then don't!" she retaliates. My dad says if he doesn't she'll go to jail, and whenever she has a problem she cries and begs him to fix it for her.
She then starts up the argument with me again, claiming my father is abusive and needs therapy and she's going to leave him, all because he refuses to drive her to a bar. Then she claims he's jealous and wishes he were as rich as Tony, and when I say that isn't it, she says, "You don't know anything about your father!" She also says he blames everything on her, when really she blames all of her problems - her lack of a job, drivers license, the fact that we aren't as close anymore - on us.
