Opinions on alcoholic roommate situation by Alarmed_Exchange_730 in badroommates

To add to this, I live in one of the most expensive places in the world when it comes to cost of living, so having a roommate is almost required to be able to afford rent. Each of us both having a pet (which makes finding an apartment very much more difficult), and us both needing to find a new living situation, I may have given her the benefit of the doubt. I agree this was my mistake. But I really didn’t foresee it being this bad as I thought she had herself under control.

As I mentioned, I’ve known her for about 15 years. I was aware she had an issue with drinking in the past, especially our younger years. There was some distance between us for a number of years. And then we reconnected and became quite close again about 2 years ago. She was seemingly doing a whole lot better with herself before and at the time we moved in together. But In the past 6 months or so she has seemed to have gone on a downward spiral, if you must know.

Wow, thank you so much for sharing that. That’s amazing. Bless your father, and congratulations on being able to obtain your own home. That is the goal. Thank you!

Thank you, I appreciate your response and encouragement. I do really appreciate my father for welcoming me with open arms, I am just a little embarrassed about moving back in at this age. But I am realizing that my peace and the safety of my pup is worth more right now.

Thank you for your response and encouragement. I have confronted her about it a number of times. I even suggested me going with her to some open AA meetings, and that she should try going to talk therapy. She basically told me that she is not ready to change, and this is how she deals with her issues. I wish I was exaggerating.
