[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have an adult “roommate to roommate” discussion with her where you tell her you are concerned that she will be negative towards you and that if that happens, you will help her seek alternative arrangements (nursing home). Make sure she understands the consequences of her behavior and then adapt accordingly.

I do think it’s unfair to not even let her try to be a decent person since you said she could move in; she’s sold her home based on that understanding. But I also think you aren’t stuck forever if she can’t behave or otherwise becomes too much to handle.

I also think you should do some work about ignoring more of what she says, not taking it personally. So what if she doesn’t like this or that about your life? You are a grown-ass woman and can live how you please. In fact, say that to her. It would feel great.[/quote]

I agree with all of this.

Let her know she needs to shape up or ship out.  You are still an adult and are not locked into this.[/quote]
