I got to live with a schizophrenic person who subleased after a roommate left. I gained a better understanding for people who suffer this horrible disorder. It validated my theory that many homeless people are schizophrenic--yea, go figure, homeless people who aren't lazy. It's very difficult--stupidly so--to get these people help. They have to threaten your life (or theirs) to get them any kind of help, which undeniably is not good enough yet, so they wind up abandoned by their families, in prison with a horrible mix of drugs, etc. My case was no different, I had to kick him out because he wasn't paying rent and was causing distress to my other roommates. I would have done the same with a sane person, but I must admit I felt bad because the guy was kind, he just couldn't keep a job, so he couldn't pay me. He still owes me like $600, but I've never contacted him about it. I figure he has a hard enough time as is.
