I have lived with friends who have become horror shows as roommates. One friend had never been on her own. She went wild when she moved in with me and became a totally different person. She got into a lot of drugs, started bringing a lot of strange men home, and repeatedly stole from me. Living with her was awful, and I was worried about her constantly. I actually called her father to come get her.
