BUT YAY!!! Finally she admits today that she has a problem that causes her to act this way, although she refuses to seek help.

At least now I know that she's crazy because she's mental, and I don't have to put up with this shit anymore. I was young and didn't know how to fend for myself against a crazy person with a semi-mental disorder, but now I'm walking out with my own two feet.

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry! This is not normal but there is help. If you can, find a support group in your area. I began Al-Anon due to my husband's addiction issues (his are not alcohol related but it was the only local group I could find) and I've learned more about dealing with my mom than anything. They teach us to healthily detach and really truly believe "we didn't cause this, we can't control it and we certainly can't cure it". It moves the focus off of others and on to taking care of yourself. I highly recommend it.
