I'm having a hard time mentally recovering after my roommate ruined my life
I had a roommate who long story short, defrauded me out of $800 by claiming she had prepaid a security deposit and I should send her the money when I moved in to an apartment. She also defrauded the other tenant out of the three of us. Turns out the deposit was paid by a tenant who left years ago, and broke the lease by leaving early, so she was not entitled to any of it back by law. She was also okay with that, as she willingly moved in with her then boyfriend now husband, and that's why she left.
I got laid off from a job shortly after paying her that $800. Would have helped me if I had that extra $800 in my bank account.
Then that pos who stole the money from me got laid off also, and since she was a government employee, she was being paid through paid administrative leave. Meaning my tax money was funding her unemployment.
I'm still trying to mentally recover from having the money stolen and also from the layoff. I was previously making like $500 a week. Now I'm making like $700 every two weeks.
