“If I asked if she had rent, she would immediately be like “you know I don’t” and just shrugged it off. My son was paying the entire rent by himself. Which, whatever. If he wants to do that, then that’s on him. But it was the lack of caring and the complete taking advantage of the situation that (upset me). After about 7 months, I sat Amber down and reminded her of my agreement and told her she was walking on thin ice and that I was fed up with her not even attempting to hold up her end of the deal.”
Amber replied back that she needed her to be understanding of the fact that she was upset about not seeing her parents in a long time and was having difficulty even wanting to get herself out of bed every morning.
She did feel for Amber, and she mentioned to Amber that she could help her get into therapy to deal with what she was going through.
Amber then stated that she would go to therapy when she felt up to it, but that never actually happened. Instead, Amber kept coming up with more excuses as to why she couldn’t get a job and pay rent and be productive.
“Well, this month, I saw that my hot water bill skyrocketed by an extra $300,” she said. “It then came to my attention that Amber has been showering THREE times a day because “standing under the scolding water is the only thing that takes away my sadness.”
“At this point, I was done. I’m forking out an extra $700 a month with no help from her, and my son is struggling to pay her portion because he is in college. So I again told her she needed a job. She pulls the “I’m so depressed I can barely drag myself out of bed. I can’t work outside of this house.”
“I snapped and said I refuse to accept her millions of mental illness excuses anymore, and either she finds a job within the month, or I’m canceling her lease, and she can get…out. She ran to the room crying and slammed the door.”
She’s left wondering if it’s too harsh of her to kick Amber out if she doesn’t find a job ASAP. What do you think?
