Your Living Situation -- Clean or Dirty?

I have a dirty living situation. I cannot and am not supposed to complain because I’m not the main breadwinner. My step-father is. He is dirty, gross, and nasty. He’s a hoarder. I’ve seen worse. I like him as a person, but we’ve got into it before. I’m not a clean person myself, but he can be extremeley narcissistic and passive agressive.

We got spiders, cockroaches, wasps, and ■■■■ and junk everywhere. The house has been falling apart for the past 20 years.

I think he’s slowly losing it. Perhaps, dementia.

Anyone can relate?

It reminds me of a half-way house or group home.

I think it’s harsh to say that, but it’s true.

I have no where else to go. Maybe I’m just venting.

I used to live with my mother, and her house was like that. She went to the nursing home in 2010 and died in 2018. I live in my own apartment now, and it’s cluttered but not unsanitary.

I clean everyday and make my bed every morning.

I keep things very neat.

Even if your step dad doesn’t maintain the house very well doesn’t mean you have to let your personal space go to ruin.

I’d probably make you feel better to clean up,

Just your areas.

It’s probably less work than you think.

Clean. We clean up after ourselves and keep on top of chores. It’s a small apartment anyways.
