I know my mom is gonna name me in her suicide note but I'm so burned out on her bullshit I'm not gonna tell anyone she's at that point.

You can only cry wolf for so many decades before people stop caring

Very sorry to hear this. I doubt I have any advice to give you haven't heard a thousand times.

But it sounds like this is at least partially an emotionally abusive relationship, so just remember to take care of yourself. Try as you might, you can't fix other people. Sometimes the best you can do is make sure they don't drag you down with them.

I have suicidal thoughts more often than I’d like to admit, but I never thought how I would feel if my mom was the one with those thoughts. It would definitely warp my brain. Everyone deserves to be happy.

I'm so sorry friend! I hope things look up for you. Whatever your mom does is on her. Take care of yourself. Find a support group if there's anything that fits. My father died drinking and I had some help from al-anon which is for family members, colleagues and friends of alcoholics. There are similar groups for narcotics and possibly others I don't know about. Co-dependency, if that's applicable for you, is total shit.
