Things have really escalated with the Oven situation.
Roommate has agreed to pay, but I have had to leave home, as he has become violent and accuses me of “three days of torture, during his recovery”; due to the fact that I snitched on him to the landlord as he didn’t fess up.
He also smashes the floor at night, and randomly screams. There’s constant rants that my mental health issues are bringing him down, and that I am the cause of his mental health problems. I did once cry when one of my best friends went overseas, but I didn’t make my problems his problem.
Meanwhile his recovery is going great. He continues ordering a bottle of Vodka a day on Uber Eats.
At least I’m going month to month on the 17th, so I can break lease under DV provisions without having to get an intervention order.
Hey. I hope you’re ok. That’s a horrible situation to be in.
You just make sure that you’re safe and aren’t subjected to any physical violence. It’s not made any better that your roommate is could be in a drunken rage either.
He’s just using you as a scapegoat and it’s only a step away from being physical at a moment’s notice.
A bottle of vodka a day? Fuuuuck. That’s pretty hardcore drinking right there, and a pretty darned expensive way to live. Does nothing for his mental health, that kind of drinking, or that of those around him. I’ve been there. I’m sorry you had to leave your home, but sometimes it’s the only way. I hope you can find a better situation for yourself soon 🙏
Yowwww… That is so fucked, I’m so sorry you had to go through that and can’t move out for another 17+ days - are you feeling safe where you’re staying?
I’m really very relieved you’re safe and secure but fuck, what an awful number on your psyche. Couldn’t feel safe in your own home. Hopefully he leaves you the fuck alone once it’s all over and you can recover from this in safety. 😔

Is there anything any of us can do to help you?
I don’t need much right now, but thank-you for your offer.

Yeah, his dad had to take over paying his share of rent, as he just spent it all on booze.
Oh, that is awful. Please stay safe and don’t take any chances.

I’m now at my parents house in Geelong, and have managed to move all work related equipment and most valuables here.
Everything else has been locked up in a shed he doesn’t have a key to, so if he does break in, then I would be covered under insurance.

Do you have much stuff still there? Can you get it out soon?
I have managed to take back most things to my parents in Geelong, and what remains is locked in a garage that he doesn’t have access to.
He must be zonked out most of the day. How awful. Stay safe.
