Advice again about roommates

I'm in a quandary about how to handle this situation. I have 2 roommates 57M and 85F. The female has lived with me off and on for a couple of years.
So the new 57M moved in a couple of months ago and everything was fine at first but I have noticed that the 85F has started drinking a lot more and really becoming a lush and has started falling a lot, and trying to instigate problems between me and 57M. She's always been like a Mom to me and she loves to know every detail of my life and she gossips and talks negatively about everyone. Every time I mention talking to friends, or if there's a guy I'm interested in, she starts saying negative things about them.
So a couple of days ago , 57M came and told me that she was talking really bad about me to him and he said she does it every night. And then she comes up me and tries to talk bad about him to me. He's a really nice guy and pays his rent on time and has helped out around the house, etc. I think what the problem is is that she's jealous and doesn't want me to have any friends but her. So she takes strong antidepressants and anti anxiety med and has been drinking heavily on top of that, all day long. And she falls and talks bad about everyone.
So I saw her this morning, which was the first time I had seen her since I found out she was talking shit about me behind my back. Normally she wants to know every detail of my life and I see now that it's because she gossips about me to her daughter and family. So I was polite but said nothing new going on in my life, because I see now that I can't trust her.
So while ago I had an electrical issue in my house- lights flickering, sound of electrical current 57M heard. So I called and filed a claim with my supplemental insurance company. 57M was giving details about the current noise he heard and she walked up to him and said that I didn't need his input!! It was very rude and I told her how rude she was and she went to him and apologized. Earlier she was on the couch and when she tried to get up, she fell and broke some stuff. She was apparently very drunk.,
She came to me and said "YOU are the owner of this house and I don't want 57M to take that away from you!"
Wtf????
She's a drunk sloppy lush who is starting problems. She really needs to be in a rehab. She has been in a nursing home before and told her daughter she was abused and would rather rent rooms from people.
I'm not sure if it's my place or not to text her daughter who is out of town on a honeymoon because she recently got married.
Should I tell her daughter that her Mom is drinking a LOT and causing problems with me and the other new roommate and that she keeps falling and wobbling all over the house and I am very concerned about her and worried about coming home and finding her dead? Other than that, she's a good roommate who pays her share of bills on time. I own the house btw. I think her concern is that if I date someone or have other friends, I will kick her out. Her comment tonight about her telling me not to let 57M "take my home away because I am the owner " really makes me think that.
When she fell tonight, both me at57M dragged her back up on the couch and cleaned up her mess and broken stuff.
Not sure what to do. Should I go behind her back and call her daughter and tell her how much she's drinking?

Do you really need to disrupt their honeymoon???

While it'd be great if you could wait, we don't know how long we could be waiting for...

Another option might be to talk to her doctor. The doctor can't discuss her or her care with you, but they should still be able to listen to and note your concerns about her mixing large quantities of alcohol with her medication... and the fact that she's falling and might require more care than you are supposed to be providing as her landlord.
@Mardrae Patient confidentiality shouldn't get in the way, you're not asking for any confidential information about her, you're just sharing your concerns with them.

It's up to them if they want to assess her and discuss any concerns they have about her health with her at her next appointment.

@HootyTheNightOwl the only doctor she has mentioned to me is a primary care doctor that I also go to. There's several different doctors there. I'm not sure who is prescribing her psych meds, or how often she even goes there, but I guess I could call them and tell them how much she's drinking so they don't prescribe the medication to her anymore.
@Mardrae Yes, they might have to pass the information on if they are concerned about her drinking while taking that medication.
I once ghosted an elderly lady in her 80's cause she wouldn't stop talking **** but then she died not long after and i felt bad..

I would try to avoid ruining her daughters honeymoon with these issues

Maybe try talking to her directly about her behavior being an issue? Idk 🙁 maybe she just needs a hug and a how you doing? Sigh 🤐

You must try to resolve this issue
I’d definitely tell her daughter that she’s
Drinking excessively..And tell her she’s has fallen down and is very fortunate she hasn’t
Gotten hurt ..
DDaverde · 61-69, M
@DDaverde sorry I got involved it’s your business and your house bye!
Mardrae · F
@DDaverde omg chill. Wasn't trying to hurt your feelings. I was genuinely curious.
DDaverde · 61-69, M
@Mardrae felling not hurt NP good luck with your situation .
Call her daughter and move her out. It's your house, she's disrespecting you as it is, and also bc shes falling down while drinking, setting you up for a possible lawsuit.

@TallMtnMedic how will I pay my bills if I kick her out?
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
What a mess☹
Mardrae · F
@Virgo79 yeah, it is. I asked 85F if she wanted me to call her daughter and she loudly said NO!! So I am worried that if I went behind her back and texted her, she would get mad and move o. It's very hard to find good roommates these days and if she moved out, I wouldn't be able to pay my bills. But she needs help

Shebis old and maybe not so far from on her way out cut jer as much slack as you can
Mardrae · F
@Subsumedpat yeah, I have been doing that all along. With no problems but when it starts causing problems with the new roommate, that's when it really becomes an issue
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@Mardrae Such a sad situation.

Mardrae · F
