I suppose what's going on lately is as good enough a reason to dust off this journal as any, so here goes.
I was living alone for a whole year. When that year was done, my sister convinced me to live with her and her son - and though she told me otherwise, her boyfriend, in the end. We lived together at one apartment for a year.
When that year was up, last year, we moved to where we are now. We've been here since February. There's -alot- i've found out since moving in with her that, had I known before agreeing to live with her, I wouldn't have agreed to live with her...
Now she's in jail. I have no idea how long she'll be in for. She -could- get out in a few days, after which I have no idea what she'd do, as she would literally be hunted down by the texas police. But if she does go along with that, it'll be easier for me to just up and leave.
Or, she could stay in, sign whatever waver she has to in order to go to texas willingly, and then I have no clue how long she'll remain locked up. In this situation, I have two main options.
One, she's not going to be in for long (doubtful), and i'll just stay here with her boyfriend and son until she gets out legitimately.
Or two, she stays in for too long, and I just have to leave.
Another option is, I stay for the rest of the year (just to keep me from breaking the lease we signed), whether she gets out soon or not, and then I leave. It'll be cheaper, but a whole uncertain year with someone I don't trust or know is unsettling...
Or, I decide what to do with my current plan. I'm a bit stumped on this. I pay for this one month's rent, for the last time. We pay all the bills, get things my sister has pawned back, and her boyfriend has time to figure out where he's going to go with their son. (He's jobless, homeless, the only income he has is a 600 dollar check each month from his son for special needs), and I get to hang around to find out how long my sister is going to be locked up, or if she gets out, or WHATEVER happens. Bottom line, i'd be leaving by the end of the month.
If she -does- get out during that time, then it will be very easy for me to just leave. But, if she doesn't get out, I have made myself responsible for all of her furniture and belongings. I will buy a Uhaul and pay for storage to keep her things when I leave at the end of that month.
I -could- leave at the end of this month, and not stick around for that extra month. Her boyfriend won't have much time to figure out what he's going to do, where he's going to go. And I won't be able to figure out what my sister does, if she gets out or not.
If she does get out, and i've decided not to stay the extra month - and taken her furniture with me and put it into storage - it may not be a bad thing. She'll have nowhere to live anyway, so she'd need somewhere to keep her things.
What troubles me most is breaking the lease. I don't like doing that, and i'll try to talk it over with the landlord, but I always plan for the worst, and expect him to give me trouble.
I'm most worried about what the boyfriend might do. He wants me to help him pay all the bills we have to stay one extra month. But my other family members who know the whole situation keep telling me he might try to take my money and leave. I don't know how, but I suppose anything's possible. He very well could have me pay all the bills for this last month, and then ditch me.
If that happens, I would have to leave in a hurry, and I would have no money to do so. But I trust my family to help me. I'd have to leave all of my sister's furniture to be thrown away, and that would be crushing for her. But it would be simple for me, regardless.
I've been thinking this over for days since she got locked up, and think I foresee the most likely turn of events.
I think no matter what, I am going to be leaving either at the end of this month (just two days from now), or the end of next month (may) with all of my sister's things, staying with my family for one month, and then moving into whatever new apartment I get on the following month, possibly bringing her furniture into my apartment, depending on whether she gets released from jail or not.
The easiest and fastest solution would be for me to simply leave at the end of this month, forget all of my sister's furniture, close all current bills, be done with it.
I wish I had someone else's opinion on all of this. But I think i've planned well enough for any and all possible outcomes.
