Here's the latest news.
Yesterday, I got a call from his mother. The mom said that she hasn't heard from Nathan (my roommate) since Mothers Day (which was May 10). According to the mom, Nathan called her to wish her a happy Mothers Day and said he was about to come over to pay her a visit in honor of the holiday. That was the last she heard from him. He didn't even call to tell that he didn't go.
The mom tried calling him, but he wouldn't pick up. She emailed him, but he didn't respond. She text messaged him; still nothing. His dad called and his sister called too. He wouldn't answer the phone. Finally, after 8 days, she called me just to see if he was still alive. I told her that he was and that I had no idea what to say about his not contacting her. I didn't tell her about his pot habit because it shouldn't have to come from me.
On the plus side, I didn't smell the pot last night and the night before. |

So who else is it going to come from?
You didn't sign a confidentiality agreement with Nathan about his pot-smoking did you? In which case you are free to tell whoever you want.
By the sounds of it it would be helpful if his parents, who clearly care about him, knew something of the extent of his difficulties.
If you have her number you should consider calling her back and discussing the situation. If done properly it could benefit everyone, particularly Nathan.

While I agree in spirit with the Whip, I have to suggest a little more caution.
I'm a little dubious of telling his parents (odd, because I had no problem telling the cops - go figure). A part of me says tell Nathan that his whole family is looking for him and that it's really not cool to leave you in the middle of that situation with them calling you. Suggest that he call them. Also tell him that the pot smoking has got to stop in the house. The proximity of these statements may imply that you may inform his parents, which, if he cares, may curb his in-house habit.
If you want, suggest that he get some counseling if stuff is getting out of hand for him.
You should probably still move out.  |

Good news everybody!
My friend from Arizona is moving to Los Angeles and asked me if I knew anybody I can recommend as a roommate for him. I offered my own self and told him my annoying roommate stories. We started looking at apartments together and found this awesome place with a gym, a pool, underground parking, the works! It was only $18 more expensive than the place I'm in now, but its worth it. We both filled out an application and assuming all goes well, we're going to move in July 15. |

Excellent! Get yourself out of that place and let your old roomie clean up the mess he's made!
