Roommates got into a domestic
I have not even lived here for a month. I just left a toxic relationship with a partner i lived with. I thought this would be a safe haven but last night my roomie F63 wanted to talk to F40 about leaving her food out all night. They've had issues with roaches before so the shared spaces are super clean. No food left out. F40 left her food out all night and day and F63 just wanted to reiterate boundaries. She approached it kindly but F40 completely lost it. She immediately escalated it and started screaming, slamming doors. Saying F63 was crazy, screaming HELP ME! i was listening to all of this in my room just thinking 'what the hell is wrong with her?' all of this could have been avoided if she just said 'my bad! i forgot my food!' but you know, some people just never take accountability. She had a complete mental breakdown and smashed a vase. When F63 was fuming, she called the landlord to explain the situation. I started getting overwhelmed. I just moved in. So I went downtown to grab a drink. Two hours later when i get back home, the front door is open. They are still arguing. THEN. three cops walk in. At this point, i'm just so embarrassed and fed up. Communication is really not that hard. Especially over dishes. The cops asked me what had happened so i told them everything. All of this on a Tuesday at 9:30 PM. I have to wake up at 6:00 AM the next day for a doctors appointment. I absolutely don't want to deal with this. The cops are irritated and have to coach these grown women on communication. F40 is just standing outside with her cop looking smug, because now F63 is overwhelmed and sounds stressed. When they finally left, the roommates huffed and puffed a bit more.
i'm 24 years old. I just moved here after escaping a really bad situation where he would scream all the time. I'm so exhausted and feeling 'woe is me' because it feels like it's nonstop 😂 I think our landlord is wanting to give F40 the boot because this has been going on long before i moved in. But What would you guys do? would you immediately dip? find a new place? Or stick it out? I just want somewhere to heal and pour into my own cup. These grown ass adults do not need to be screaming and calling the cops on a tuesday. Anyways. Any advice?
