Thanks for the kind words, Sunna! Very sorry to hear you've had a similar experience w/sharing your space with another person. :-(
This has actually happened to me a few times before (with a b/f, cousin, & friend). They cry & moan about having no where else to go (or for the 2 b/fs, that they ONLY want to be with me). They always say they're going to help out "when they get a job" "get sorted out" "make more money" etc. Ugh. I have a terrible feeling that I've been a patsy again!
Btw, I do feel a lot better about myself now... I've been a nasty angry person for too long... almost human now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I won't lie, though, it's scary to think of living alone again.
Will take the good advice of having friends over this weekend & keep things polite w/the outgoing b/f. Thanks so much for your well wishes!
I have an appointment w/my T after work... hoping she can help me get sorted.
