And so it begins….
February 6th, 2008 by Babs

Because of the car and the computer we fell behind in our rent. Further behind. Like two and a half months late. We don’t have any money in savings because Glenn spent it all. We can’t borrow any more money from the credit union because Glenn is already maxxed out (because he keeps taking money from our savings). So we can’t make a dent until we get our taxes. Glenn said he spoke with our landlord about this and he’s cool about it, yet the past due notice I found in our mailbox seems to speak differently.

Yesterday the landlord popped up to announce he’s going to have the exterminators in on Friday to take care of the roaches. He ever so nicely pointed out that he thinks we are the reason why the infestation is so bad (despite the fact that it was WE who told him that if he didn’t get on the ball he would end up with an infestation this bad), and dropped such phrases as “your lease is up in a few months, isn’t it?”, “wouldn’t you like to live someplace nicer?” and “your apartment is the only one that hasn’t been remodeled, but I can’t do it while you’re still here.”

It goes without saying that I didn’t sleep well last night, spending most of the time either crying or shivering from stress.

Fuck.

    Please don’t take offence at this, but Glenn sounds a lot like my father. (Long story short-ish, back in the late ’80s, early ’90s, he maxxed out all my parents’ credit cards, and the line of credit on the house, in order to play the stock market. He lost all the money, and our house got foreclosed on [after which he went and robbed two banks–only got nine months in jail and five years probation even though he had a shot gun with him and threatened the bank employees with a jar of water in a brown paper bag that he said was a bomb].)

    I do hope that everything works out for you guys, somehow.

    *hugs*

      No offense taken.

      I know what Glenn’s problem is. Unfortunately it isn’t something that can really be treated, so I’m left wracking my brain as to whether this is all worth sticking around for.

        Personally, I wouldn’t stick around, but that’s just my feeling on things, based on LJ entries of yours I’ve read, combined with my own past experience. That’s all stuff you’ve gotta figure out for yourself, though (as I’m sure you already know), and I can’t help much there.

        However, I am here if you ever just want someone to talk to or rant at or anything. (E-mail is finvic @ gmail.com, and I check it far too often; methinks I’d be lost without the internet!)

        *hugs*
