Today, I found out my roommate is literally crazy. I talked to his sister for an hour on the phone, she told me I should move out as soon as possible and to make sure I take everything I brought, because he's a thief and a liar. She was amazed I had stayed as long as I have. FML
I agree, your life sucks 8 427
You deserved it 740

jasonrellet tells us more.

So I know he was wacko but what I didn't know was that he was confirmed Insane by a psychiatrist. She knew and told me a lot about him, when I told him I was moving out at the end of that month he threatened to kick me out and dump my stuff in the street, he also kept my entire deposit. I later found out that the money I payed him to rent the room was used to go to bars and buy his beer. After that month the electricity and gas and water would have been shut off.

Honestly if you hadn't noticed anything at all I'd assume she was ******* with both of you

That could very well be true, but how do you know the sister isn't crazy? How do you know she is credible? If this individual has been your roommate for a fair amount of time and you've never had any problems with them prior to this conversation with their sibling; I would be hesitant to make any rash decisions yet. Good luck OP!

Anyone to backup that story cause it sounds like she not only wants you gone but all your stuff. I knew a guy with a crazy friend who tried to get rid of every roommate and all memento's till he was desperate enough to ask her to move in because she had a huge crush that was only matched by her jealousy.

If she really his sister it might be wise to first figure out their relationship. Some sisters like their siblings to fail or struggle. Some to make them dependant, others just to see them fail or simple jealousy.

So you have stayed with your roommate for awhile, and during this time he (clearly, from context) has not stolen from you and you haven't caught him lying to you. Yet, you completely change your opinion of him, based on the potentially biased, potentially untrue opinion from somebody you don't even know? And you are seriously contemplating spending many hundreds of dollars on moving fees and wasted time to switch places, all because of the unsubstantiated claims from that one person, even though he's done nothing wrong to you? Unfortunately, it's pretty clear that you have a low IQ and are not very skilled at weighing risk vs reward scenarios, are gullible, very impressionistic, and seem unable to form your own opinions and weigh them against the opinions of others. I am not saying that your roommate is definitely innocent, but the chances of him being a bad guy when you have experienced no indication of it and have been with him a long time, is very very low. It's foolish and shortsighted of you to entirely about-face your opinion of him and betray somebody who you know well, based on the "claims" of a complete stranger to you

Op here, he was convicted felon He was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. I don't know why you assume I have a low IQ, which is 140. When I moved in I knew he was odd but I figured I could deal with it.

Maybe your roommate's sister just really hates him... why would you believe her after speaking with her for an hour, over your roommate, whom you've been living with for quite some time, based on your phrasing?

Make sure it isn't the sister that's a liar. Just cuz she's his "family", doesn't mean she gives a crap about him, or won't attempt to screw him over.

Jus fyi, psychiatrists don't diagnose "insanity" - judges do. Psychiatrists diagnose disorders. I'm not sure why you feel the need to post online about a troubled mentally ill roommate, but maybe show some compassion.

Schizophrenia and Bipolar disorder is what he's diagnosed with,

My ex husband is bipolar. He was very adept at hiding this, as I never even found out until 6 months into the marriage. He quit taking his meds at 6 months and all hell broke out. I could not remain with him and still be alive today. My brother is a liar and thief and is very good at fooling others. He gains people's (women mostly) confidence and then robs them of everything. He was even imprisoned for a few years for armed robbery. I don't know what kind of stories he tells to explain that away, but you could bet on the fact that it was always someone else's fault, or he took the fall for someone. (How heroic of him. ) My point in saying all this is that people who can do you great harm can come across as perfectly normal and likable until they want everything you have or until you do something that they can't handle. You are wise to get away once you got the reaction to your moving that you did. Losing your deposit sucks but is a small price to pay to escape what could happen.

I'm also very good at hiding my bipolar disorder. it's a very hard Illness to deal with and we don't mean the things we say to hurt you. people get scared and freak out when you tell them you're bipolar. though of course all my friends know, when I learn to trust them.

I haven't found the corage yet to tell people. It's a horrendous disorder but I manage day by day
