[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 215842, member: 3626"] We talked this morning and, amazingly, she actually listened without a meltdown or getting even a little defensive! I asked her how angry she would be if she came home and found her roommate had left the house in the mess she left this. She admitted she would be very angry. I then went on and told her I didn't want to go back to the anger and resentment of when she lived here. She agreed she hadn't been fair and would try to do better. For now, I guess that's all I can ask for. I do understand why she did it. Honestly, part of it really is inherent laziness. If you specifically tell her to do something, she's pretty good about doing it nowadays. However, if you don't say it, it can be ignored until she's told to do it. Now, how do I get over the PTSD? I still tremble when I think of last night. I just cannot live with this fear again. It's too hard when you're afraid of the person you love the most. [/QUOTE]
