When people who are supporting you start treating you without respect and putting you in double binds, it stops being cost effective. It's hard to hold boundaries on situations like that. Nonny did it, but not without taking immense personal risks in the process. It sounds as if she hasn't changed at all, but you've changed.
And if you sold your book and took care of your own expenses, would you bother going back? Given that they'd behave the same way. That's a huge catch on what she's doing right there.
I have dealt with clutter, and sometimes suspect I am the only person in the household who bothers with anything as petty as putting the toilet paper on the roll (it means I do it and it always goes on the direction I'm used to doing it). But while fate has ironically made me the closest thing to a neat freak in the household, we all do get along. (Being childless, lazy and too used to taking care of myself with the necessity of minimal effort has something to do with that too.) That kind of thing does not happen where I live now.
*Sigh*
You need to get back home, to UCI, where it's your life again. Luck with it, it won't be that much longer...
Well, that's the thing...
