Youre right I dont. Just by reading your initial post though it sounded like you had left them high and dry. Didnt mean to come off as a dick about it, I just have had some seriously shitty situations with roommates.
Your family is your support- and it seems apparent that yours is and will be there for you if your little bro is any indication. I suggest you relax and appreciate what he is doing for you (VERY cool) and be secure knowing that in the next year you should be in a position to reciprocate. DON'T let the fukstix who used you for food and shelter ruin your mood- If you allow this get you down this time of year you may cast a shadow over your families holiday as well- give them the gift of your happiness; I'm sure your presence and positivity- especially in such a circumstance will be gift enough... certainly worth more than something bought in a store. Knowing that things are going to improve from this point oughta put a smile on your face!
My apologies for the name calling as well. I'm just extremely mad about this. One of them was supposed to my best friend. It was everything I had in me not to kick his ass Friday night. And stinkfoot, thank you for your words of advice. I really do appreciate what my brother is doing, I just feel bad he has to do that. He's pretty much the only member of my family that I can count on to cover me any given time.
Wow, I'm truly sorry Chaos. I hope everything works out for you. As far as your ex-roomates go, one word comes to mind. Karma.
