I am 23yrs old and as of right now for financial reasons I live with my mom and her boyfriend who is an Alcoholic. They fight all the time, even to the point that I've been involved. I defend my mom of course and only want the best for her. Recently they got into a argument where her boyfriend was drunk. I had a friend over, even when I established it was okay to have him over. Her boyfriend attacked me, called me every mean name in the book, and just trashed my friend to my mom. Up until a certain point my mom defended me, but after she talked to him privately she concluded that it was my fault and that I'm the reason he attacked me. She is currently trying to "cure" his addiction herself. I've told her that he needs long term professional help but she insists that this whole situation is my fault and believes that she can fix his alcoholism.
My question: this has situation happened a couple times, where i would be attacked and my mom will defend me but has ended up turning the tables on me to say its my fault. Their relationship has strained our relationship so bad that I feel it necessary to move out and cut off contact with her. Do I have grounds to do this?
