I can definitely identify with your situation. Both my parents were similiar. The one thing I would recommend is to go to therapy, even if you have to hide it. They probably have one on campus. Sometimes the Psyc department or Social Work department provide counseling. A professional will be better equiped than anyone to tell you the best way to deal with your mother. You're in a very difficult situation, and you're too close to it to consider things objectively. I don't think anyone would know how to handle it on their own.
My T helped me tremendously with my Mom. She also helped me see that her problems aren't my problems. Its easy to take them on and feel responsible. I hope you will get help with this situation soon. I feel like I wasted many, many years not living my own life. I hate to see someone else going through it.
