Answer 1

if you dad show proof that she was cheating while married she gets NOTHING because she broke up the marriage

Answer 2

School counselor is a good start. Bi-polar parent is horrid.

You mentioned the alcoholism. You many get a lot of support and understanding at an ALATEEN meeting. Alateen is part of Al-Anon and is their Twelve-step program of recovery for young people affected by another's drinking, generally aged 13 to 19 years. It is other kids from situations very similar to your own. There is much relief is just getting understanding from someone else going through something similar.

Answer 5

Your dad has to prove to the courts that your mother is unstable. In other words, your father needs to get an attorney and discuss these matters. Since, you all are at age to speak to the courts, being able to tell the judge what has been going on should not be an issue. If she has been in jail several times, this can prove how unstable she is.
