In an alarming revelation on Reddit's popular "Am I The Asshole" (AITA) subreddit, a user recounted the harrowing ordeal faced by their friend following a traumatic personal incident. The friend, after surviving a suicide attempt that led to hospitalization, was met not with sympathy, but with callous eviction.

Unfortunately, OP's friend was ordered to complete her move from the apartment within 24 hours or have her things thrown away. For someone who was just coming out of the hospital, she found herself grappling with vulnerability and chaos in every single area of her life.

She was confused, had no job, and was desperately in need of emotional support to avoid sliding back into suicide. However, her woes had only just begun.

Her now ex-roommate, sensing an opportunity in her distress, decided to exploit her vulnerable state. This guy began demanding sexual favors in return for helping with her mail and offering contact details for potential employment.

Such predatory behavior stands in stark contrast to the support one would hope to receive during such traumatic times.

Compounding the shock value of this story is the revelation that this manipulative ex-roommate is expecting a child with his girlfriend. His actions don't just betray the trust of this vulnerable woman, but they also cast a grim shadow on his capacity as an impending parent.

Scroll down to see the full details of this sad story.

Let’s dig into the details

The conversation

Here’s how the Reddit community reacted to the texts:

“Call the cops. Extortion is illegal and messing with the mail is a federal crime.“

It’s insane that someone would be extorting their own roommate; worst of all, someone on suicide watch

Tampering with another person’s mail is a federal crime in the US. This roommate will have to answer to the police

The guy’s pregnant girlfriend needs to know what the father of her child is capable of

Apparently, the girlfriend knows and still sticks around with him

The victim came online to share the full details of the story

“This is when I would tag him and all his female family members.“

“Not only would I report this to the police, I would share this with his pregnant gf.“

Apparently, the guy feels no remorse whatsoever and is still persistent with his request

“This is NOT me blaming her at all, but why is she saying ‘I’m really sorry I can’t’…”

Another Redditor is upset that OP is being too polite

OP needs to take their friend to the police so that she can make a report

The Reddit community is clearly appalled to learn about OP’s friend’s struggles. Many commenters have pointed out that tampering with someone else’s mail is a crime, and the victim can make a case for the guy’s arrest.

We do hope OP’s friend can get the needed help to not only deal with this horrible man but also handle her mental health.

We’d love to get your thoughts on this story. Join the conversation in the comments.
