Rescue yourself and don't worry about mom. At all. Really. Give her up to the universe and remove yourself from all of it. Let the angels have her to look over.
What you want for your mom and what is possible may be two completely different things that will never overlap no matter how much of yourself you pour into it. Stop having expectations for her and yourself about her health, her care, and her future.
Take care of you, your family, and your future.

APS is right. You are not going to be able to force her to change.
It is very, very hard to watch a loved one with self-destructive behavior. I am so sorry for you.
What is best now is to save yourself. Have you been in counseling lately?
If so, go back. If not, please consider it. You are faced with something very traumatic and difficult. You deserve any support your can get.
