It is so hard to deal with a parent with such serious problems as yours has. But it is possible!
You do need a really good therapist of your own, first of all. The basics of truly successful therapy, I think. are separating yourself emotionally from your mother, grieving for not receiving the things you really needed from her, building inner strength from developing a secure attachment to your therapist - and then eventually moving emotionally into independent, healthy adulthood. All of these things can happen if you find a therapists who is also committed to these goals and who is a "good fit" for you.
From what I recall, you have a good supportive environment and excellent medical care. How is the therapy part of your treatment?
