[[Sorry I jhaven’t been active for a while. I went to America to spend two weeks with whymagesarefeared and then jetlag and sickness ate me… and I’m still not doing too great.
For those of you know don’t know, I had to move out of my parents’ house as my mother and I both have MH problems and she doesn’t cope with hers at all, resulting in me getting a torrent of earache from her as every little thing that winds her up is my fault. Obviously this was a bad situation for me so I moved in with a friend.
The issue now is that several years on, my friend that I live with has graduated from “likes a drink” to “alcohol dependant”. He drinks, all day every day. The house is a bombsite. I asked if he would look after the cats while I was on holiday, he said yes. I came back to overflowing litter pans and cat poop all over the kitchen. Dishwasher? Don’t be silly. And he certainly doesn’t get the vacuum out or mop the floor. I’m trying to work full time AND living in a pigsty as I simply CAN’T keep up with cleaning HIS mess as well as mine after a full day at work.
This is bad enough, but things have now reached a crisis point. He doesn’t do anything to maintain the house, and it’s now showing damage and damaging the neighbours’ property. The neighbours have asked nicely several times and have finally snapped and informed us that they will be seeking legal advice with regards to the damage his failure to maintain his property has caused to theirs.
I could get a house share or lodge, but it would have to be with complete strangers and I don’t think that would be wise. What I’m trying to do instead is to raise some money towards getting a property of my own. I’d been saving for a deposit for a while, I have a good chunk of what I need, but unfortunately not enough to get a foot on the ladder yet. With the threat of legal action looming, I’m having to kick things into high gear.
So in short: sorry I’m so inactive right now but housing crisis is a thing, I don’t know when I’ll be back as obviously potentially being homeless is mega stressful, if you can help me out that would be awesome, otherwise, I hope you’re all doing okay and I hope to come back and RP with you wonderful people once more sometime soon <3]]
