what a story.. you did the right thing. My cousin's mom is the same way. One she divorced my uncle we never had to see her again, but my cousin see's her often and she is still a drunk.. I ask my cousin why she doesnt just block her but she won't. Her brother committed suicide because how she was to them, and it has been their whole life, and she says the same. " i am your mother, you can't cut me out" I say yes, yes you can.

I am happy that you were able to.
