I'm in the mood to rant.

I can't believe how stupid and inconsiderate some people can be. Now, my boyfriend is in college, and it was agreed that he didn't have to pay rent to his mother and her boyfriend as long as he attended school. I swear, this man wants my boyfriend gone. All he does is yell at him for things his children do. If my boyfriend doesn't do something like clean the dishes he gets screamed at. He doesn't even use the dishes, he eats off of paper plates. He now has to pay $100 in rent, even though he's still attending school. He has a low paying job that only gives him hours once a week. He can barely pay for things as is. He accidentally forgot to flush after going to the bathroom this week. His rent increased by $100 a month.

He lives in a room half the size as mine, in the basement. It has little space to walk, a closet without a door and that's about two or three feet wide. The room has no heat, and believe me, it's cold down there. It's right next to the washer and dryer, so that's an annoyance.

Now, his mom's boyfriend's kids have bedrooms upstairs with heat. They only live there on the weekends when my boyfriend is full time living there.

He's yelled at for everything by this man, and it's not his mom. His mom is a nice woman, but she just doesn't stand up for my boyfriend. She did just tell him not to worry about the extra $100, and that's good because he was planning on dropping out of college to pay for his rent. To his own home.

They made him move there too. He was living in my town with his grandparents, but they forced him to move in with them once the school year was over. They make him move there, then make him pay rent. And he doesn't really have a choice now, because his job is there and they won't help him get a license.

He's 18, close to 19. How can this man expect my boyfriend to make anything of himself if he takes his entire paycheck every month? My boyfriend already owes me $300, because when he graduated high school his graduation present from his parents was supposed to be $300 to pay for the police academy program we go to. He already signed up and owed the money, but they changed their minds. He's not getting anywhere and it's a mixture of the bad economy, coming from a poor family, and his mom's boyfriend who's trapping him.

It makes me feel bad for having money. I get $20 a week for lunch, and I really just save it. I buy minimum lunch so I can save the rest. I get half as much as him a month, and I still come out on top.

I don't know how to help him. I want him to stay in college, and so does he, but if this man keeps this up he won't be able to.

And one day I came over and headed toward my boyfriends room, the guy had the nerve to say "Maybe you can whip him into shape." He's one of the most hard working, considerate and dedicated guy I know, and this fat asshole has the nerve to tell me indirectly my boyfriend has bad character.

End rant. Felt good

What a dick...
