US EditionDear Abby: Longtime Renter with a Mean Streak Is Verbally Abusive
- The speaker has lived with their roommate Don for 11 years, with a strictly platonic relationship for the last seven years.
- Don verbally abuses the speaker by repeatedly attacking the speaker's 44-year-old son during fights despite promising not to do so again.

- The speaker questions whether Don’s rental assistance is worth the verbal abuse and plans to downsize to affordable housing without him while refusing further insults.
