i am an adult, my mother is an alcoholic narcissist and her partner is enabling her bad behaviour. this is causing problems especially at social events for myself, my wife, my sister etc. we don’t know wether to cut our ties completely. We have asked her not to drink at family occasions but she usually does and then causes problems.

I went no contact with my alcoholic mother a couple of years back now and I don't have any regrets about it. My mental health was suffering way too much because of her behaviour and I didn't realise how much it had been affecting me until I was away from the situation.
