That’s what I kind of guessed… which is why I didn’t think that your d. would want or need to change roommates. The current situation gives your D. the practical benefits of a single room – why give that up? </p>
<p>Also, I wouldn’t fault the RM all that much if she indeed has a “crazy” mom – she probably had a rough time growing up and fell into the habit of bending the truth in order to get her mom off her back. It’s not the best solution, but for that particular kid, honest & open communication with the mom may not be an option either – especially if the mom is dead set on breaking up her relationship with her bf. The RM probably could not have anticipated quite how far her mom would take it – in fact, she might have thought she was protecting WCM’s daughter by making up some story to deter her mom from making repeated phone calls to the room when she wasn’t there. (As in, “please don’t call the room if you can’t reach me on my cell phone, my roommate sleeps a lot and doesn’t like to be disturbed”) </p>
<p>I can see the friendship between the roommies deteriorating simply because the RM now spends all her time with the BF… but I don’t think we CC’ers need to pile it on over how immature the roommate is. There was a mistake in judgment … but a kid with a crazy, overbearing parent often has to walk a very careful line not to trigger some sort of drama, and can often be in a damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t situation.</p>
