People should be respecting my boundaries.....

.....and a lot of people are.

But the people in my family are not.

There is a bipolar woman who keeps on begging me for cash several times a month. A couple of years ago, she even went as far as to move into the same apartment complex that I live in, just so she could knock on my door whenever she wanted to.

My grandmother moved into the same apartment complex a few months later, obviously inspired by this woman's motivated efforts to suck the life out of me.

My mother talked me out of moving out of my complex and into signing my lease for ONE MORE YEAR, smothering me with, "It would be selfish if you abandoned them! You would break their hearts! You should think about people other than yourself!" Yeah, I don't see her visiting my grandmother, because she is relying on me to do that for her.

Frankly, this is going to be a very tight year. I went ahead and signed the lease this time (about a day ago), but the only reason I did that was because I had no place lined up to move into immediately. I'll spend the next year exploring my options, looking for less expensive living arrangements where I will be around more reasonable people. I currently am employed at an autism advocacy group, and a couple of the people there are willing to help me when we are all off the clock to see what options we can come up on that respect.

But for the time being, I am going to b***h. Because sometimes, life is a b***h. I'll work through it, I just wanted to whine a little.

This bi-polar cash borrowing woman seems like a real pain. If you can, stop giving her anything. After a time she will move on to greener pastures. That she moved into the same complex as you is very creepy. But it would be a shame if you had to move, especially since you're near your grandma.
I had someone in my life like this once - a total leach. It was only after I moved that I was able to shake him. Once these people get their hooks in you they're hard to get rid of.
