Roommate Gone- at Last!

I finally threw out my girlfriend's son. I am sick to death of promises of future payments that never materialize. I am sick to death of feeding a glutton. He did finally pay $300 towards groceries during these past few weeks and gave me another $100 towards the rent. He owes more, but I am cutting my losses. He trashed that room! I don't know what kinds of stains those are in the carpet and have no idea how to get them out. There is also some black stuff on the walls, like something exploded.
I found out why he could not pay rent when I started cleaning the room. Lots of little one inch baggies under the mattress. Hmmm... wonder what that white powder residue is? Like I need this in my house?
After I clean his room I will clean the house and finally get some Christmas decorations up. I will be busy for a few days...

You have that big old soft heart. Don't let it entrap you again. I am horrified that he would put you at risk by using drugs.

So am I. I confronted him a little over a month ago and suggested he return to rehab but he was in complete denial and responded with outrage that I should suggest such a thing and not believe he was not using. I am just glad it ended when it did. On top of the filth in the room (the carpet never came completely clean again) I found holes burnt into the quilt/spread that was on the bed. No respect for people or their property!

Sop am I. Lesson learned.

It's so hard to know what to do in those situations: you want to be nice and give someone a helping hand if that's what it would take to get their life perking along, not to mention the promise of a little extra income, but too many times they are just bums. What a hassle it'd have been if he'd gotten busted for drugs and your house searched. You might have had some 'splaining to do.

Because of the USCGAUX, I would have had some major explaining to do!

I am so glad he is gone. He is my girlfriend's son. Good reason why he cannot stay with his own mother.

Unimaginable! It will be so nice to be living solitaire again.

geez I think you did the right thing lady. How rude of that guy!
comment by kristilyn3 on Dec 9, 2010 11:58 AM ()
He has no respect for anyone.

It sounds like a frustrating situation. Sometimes, you just have to put your foot down and move on.
