Gambling addiction..& its victims...
Hi all...ive been sober for over 10 years. The problem is....I live in an apartment. Its a basement of my landlords house that's been converted into a full apartment with a private entrance. So....yeah..I live in the SAME house as my landlord. I gave them $9950 up front for a years rent. The ad said "Utilities included"... Problem is that they took all that money and went to the casino and lost it all in a weekend. Now they come home and see me still here...cuz ive paid to be here...but it all of the sudden...to them...doesn't seem that way. Seems like they look at me and think "Damn....I'm broke ....again..but heres this guy who gave me all this money that I then lost...but I still have to live up to what we agreed upon...." So now,...I live everyday with them resenting the fact that they have to let me live here. And Im sure to them...it FEELS like they are letting me live here for free....cuz they blew the money. So now...they tell me how im sky rocketing their utility bills...tell me to turn off lights....don't use this...don't use that....they even came down and took over half my light bulbs....and disabled the electric fireplace that was IN THE ORIGINAL AD as an amenity.....just to save money....ive got 5 months left and feel like my house not a home....
