Today, my bitch mother informed me I have two weeks to find a new place to live. When I said she legally has to give me thirty days, she said she doesn’t because I refuse to pay rent as an adult. I have schizophrenia, obesity, and I’m not obligated to pay her rent. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my rent is going up by $100. This is the third year in a row. I'm on SSI ($914/month) and it was $550 when I moved in before the pandemic. I'm also morbidly obese, schizophrenic, and my family doesn't respect me. FML
Today, I found out that the $200 I reluctantly gave to my mother so she could rent a house was paid to a scammer. Now she wants to live with me, in my one bedroom apartment. FML
Today, I finally got all of my finances to move out of my house. My mother, instead of being happy for me for moving out of her house, blames me because she needs my rent money, states I will not be happy out in the world and disowned me because I didn't move out when she wanted me to. She wanted me to stay until she was 55. FML
Today, I got an eviction notice. I confronted my roommate, who’s supposed to be covering rent with the half I give her. She said, “Uhhh, about that.. I got Lady Gaga orchestra seat tickets, do you mind covering rent for a while and I’ll pay you back?” She makes three times my income and I can’t afford rent by myself. FML
Today, my aunt, whom I live with, told me she is going to move out and demanded her half of the rent back, as she only spent two days a week there. When I told her that's not how rent works, she called my mom to tell her what a failure she had raised. Her own sons are unemployed drug addicts. FML
Today, I found out when my new roommate said she was self-employed, she really meant unemployed. She insists that I let her stay for free or she will file a sexual assault case against me. Rent is due on the 10th. FML
Today, my parents are calling me a spoilt brat and threatening to disown me if I don't let my sister, her six kids, and freshly out of jail boyfriend move into the house I spent 10 years working my ass off to buy without having a mortgage. Sis said I can sleep on the lounge as long as I pay rent. FML
Today, my pill-popping mom, committing disability fraud and stealing from me, called the cops on me, and dragged the landlord into it, is now getting both of us evicted. All this because she'd rather live homeless with her drug problem than to get the help she needs, which I can't provide anymore after 10 years. FML
Today, I found out my roomie has lost her only source of income. This means I'm responsible for all the bills and the rent. I would kick her out and get someone else, but she's my mother. FML
Today, I'm 37 years-old and recently out of a job. As my boyfriend refuses to pay more than half the rent as long as I live here, I have no choice but to move back in with my mom, 8 hours away. My boyfriend is quite happy to pay the entire rent as soon as I'm gone. FML

While I empathize with your struggle with schizophrenia, the rest is no excuse.

Maybe he/she has schizophrenia, maybe not. Any excuse to be a loser in Mom's basement his whole life.

I’m working from the assumption that they have it, but I know there are ways to manage it.

It's probably self-diagnosed schizophrenia, contagious via Tiktok.

Right. Having any form of mental challenge is very hip and cool right now.

If you Mum has decided that you should pay rent, to remain living in her house then you have to pay rent. As for the notice period, you will have to check local law. She cannot give you less notice than the law states because of ill health.Are there any groups/charities that help people with mental health problems? Are you working or claiming any money you are entitled to? Good Luck.

Right. There are taxpayer-funded programs for some mentally ill people to live in a group home, which often works out well. Mom did her part, he doesn't get to be a burden forever.

I’ve never heard some one say I have obesity like your just fat that doesn’t entitle you to be a mooch

I think a lot of people would be very interested to learn that obesity means you don't have to pay rent. That's a new one!

1) You are NOT entitled to live with your parents rent/expense free once you are a legal adult. 2) Of you have professionally diagnosed schizophrenia, please seek out help. Everyone around you will appreciate you more when you have the proper treatments. 3) I'm also obese at 176 pounds. so what? Does this obligate my family to cowtow to my every whim and allow me to mooch off of them? Not just no but HELL NO! S8nce it appears you are a chronological adult, grow the F*** UP! Take responsibility and GTFO. Adulting is not easy, but it's nowhere as hard as many make it out to be.

Normally, I'm not one to dismiss people's claims of mental illness, but I can smell the Tumblr/TikTok self-diagnosis bullshit if you also think being obese exempts you from paying rent. If I'm wrong, then get the help you need and quit being a mooch.
