Absolutely nobody asked for an update but I wanted to do it.
Context, my roommate is throwing a fit because I’m moving out, she’s saying I have to leave most of my stuff to her and she’s being frankly very mean.
The weeks when I was packing were awkward and, according to our other roommate, she kept bitching about when I couldn’t or shouldn’t be taking (as if I didn’t offered multiple times to Ssit down and go through the stuff we bought together instead of me just taking a random 50%).
On moving day she told me she wouldn’t be here but she showed up with her mom to get my Keys (which I think is weird since she is not my landlord). I wasn’t here at the time, but her mom started YELLING AT MY MOM, because I supposedly had said I’d give them the keys by noon (I very much did not) and because I insulted her daughter and was leaving with everything.
The best part is, our parents are neighbors, giving the keys could have been very easy with a little communication.
I’m in my new roommate free apparemment, is awesome, I maxed out my credit card because, contrary to what they were saying, I did not own everything and I have a lot of stuff to buy. Life is good, my roommate’s a delusional liar and her mom can’t control her emotions.
23 is was to old to have our mom fighting in our behalf, this is ridiculous, at this point I’m frankly laughing.

Good for you. One of the best things I ever did was live by myself before getting married. It was AWESOME. Any mess was mine, no bickering over stupid shit, walked around naked whenever I wanted, it was fabulous.
I spent a few years living in share houses and with roommates. The best day ever was when I got my first place that was all mine. No one eating my food. No ungodly amounts of noise at 2am. No one telling me what I could or couldn’t do, touch or indulge in. It was absolute bliss. Best of luck to you, OP.
I would just text or email your landlord letting them know, in writing, that you were instructed by roommate to give her your key. You gave it to her and roommate now has possession. That way she can’t say you didn’t give it back.
Enjoy the peace and quiet. No more drama from a deranged roommate.
I’d also text the landlord about her plans to not have her current roommates sign leases and overcharge them for rent. I bet he’ll love the idea /s
I moved out at 17, paid my own way, school, 2 part time jobs and babysitting after hours. The solitude was blissful. I gave a few friends a place to crash a few times for a week or two, wasn’t fussed. Didn’t live with someone again until my now husband moved in. I love my family but sometimes I miss the quiet and not having to worry about someone else in the space.
