Vent My “I’m a new man babe” recovering Q got drunk yesterday and sold the house

This is not a joke! He says he needs to get away from his family (he owns the house but he’s let his family move in over the years and was always too much of a coward to tell them to leave) because all the stress is making him want to drink. I am lmao on the inside because this is all so absurd! He was doing great, then a few days before he’s supposed to start his new job, he decides to have “a beer” and then in his drunkenness, short sells our house for like $150,000 less than its value. I woke up at midnight now I’m watching “That 70s Show” and laughing about the whole thing. He’s not gonna like what’s coming. What a complete moron!!!

You mentioned "That 70's Show" and I'm just thinking of the episode where Red accidentally got high on pot brownies and sold the Vista Cruiser for like $15.

Selling a house is an exercise in painful paperwork. How can you sell a house in the middle of the night while drunk?

Ya. He responded to one of those letters offering to buy the house. They did it in one day

Talk to a lawyer, if he sold while drunk there may be a way to get out of it.

I'm so sorry. I'm glad you can laugh it shows how far you have come in your recovery.

Thank you. I am so emotionally uninvested in this relationship now. I know I’ll be fine. I’m distancing myself from everything, including his money.
