Former Roommate

I know, I don't wanna sound like a whiney person here, but damn this is bad news.

My former roommate is a slob, even moreso than myself. But he's also very mentally unbalanced. We have a hole in the top of our stairs from him.

So if he's on his medication, he's alright, but he's gotten it into his head he doesn't need it. And that it's a "belittling" problem. And it's not.

He suffers from Bipolar very badly. With his past experiences and the fact that he's assaulted his little brother (who's he's staying with) twice, I hate to say it, but I think he needs to be commited.

I've known him for three years, and he's a violent mostly depressed person. I want to help, but he also is a well… moocher. He expects the help freely, and also more than you can really provide. Never the less, I was offered money to take him in. Because I'm more relaxed (i.e. he won't hurt me) but I don't think it will help, and it will just cause problems.

He needs help. He needs it bad.
