Once again my mom and her fiance (who also happens to be my landlord) are having a huge fight mainly based on me.
Her fiance is losing his ■■■■ over me not working. The thing is I have never missed paying rent once here so I don’t understand his problem. He has a thing against my generation (I’m 25) he thinks none of us work and are all spoiled/entitled young adults. He knows I deal with mental health issues and have trouble holding jobs. He doesn’t give a ■■■■.
My mom is on my side and defending me. They are also fighting about his alcoholism and his anger issues, so it’s not 100% about me.
Sorry for the quick rant… I just needed to get this off my chest. Hopefully I can find a job that I can actually do and hold it. Or I might be homeless soon.
I hope everyone has a good night. Thanks for reading.
@Aziz - I think she is thinking about leaving him. I know she loves him but he’s put her through a lot of crap and he treats me poorly. We’ll see what happens. Thanks for the reply my fellow Canadian.
Sorry, man. Sounds like he is projecting, honestly. It isn’t about you. It is about him facing his own inadequacies. I hope you and your mom can find a better situation.
Thank you @Ninjastar he’s an angry alcoholic, so it is about him. He’s selfish. I pay my rent every month. He’s not my biological father so he needs to stop trying to act like it!
Take a deep breath. Focus on making yourself feel good for the time being… I hope it gets better for you and your mom, and even her fiance as well. This is a tough world. People cope in odd ways. I just hope you learn positive coping skills yourself and use his example as what you don’t want to be. Sometimes that’s the gift of people in our lives. You can use his example to better yourself. Good luck to you.
My mom’s ex boyfriend was the same to me, thought I was a pansie and I was making it worse than it was with schizophrenia, f*ck closed minded boomers. I hope your situation gets better, alcoholics suck as well specially alcoholic boomers. I can’t say I know what you’re going through but it will get better one way or another.
@TheCanuk This is a good example of why it is often not a good idea to have a landlord who is a family member or friend. The boundaries between the landlord relationship and the family or friend relationship can easily become blurred.
TBH, it’s not the landlord’s business if you receive your money through disability benefits or through employment. All they should be concerned with is that you are able to pay the agreed upon rent on time.
