And we room together too. if he has to move out I can't cover this place on my own and I don't think i can find a new place easily enough under normal circumstances, let alone the world as it is today. Of course I can't actually bring that UP right now because i'll just sound like a selfish asshole. i FEEL like a selfish asshole just for thinking it.


i don't know what to do....

I've been where your friends family are. My godfather had a brain bleed (stroke) back in 15. He recovered (mostly, he wasn't exactly the same). But last year he had a blood clot and they put him on blood thinners, sadly this lead to another brain bleed. We lost him on March 21st last year. What I'm getting at is he can survive and come through relatively unscathed, but he will be changed. But there's also the instance where he may not.
My suggestion with the rooming situation is begin looking for other living accommodations on the chance of grave circumstances. Don't bring it up, just quietly look for another and have backups in case things get taken. Let them deal with their issue and you quietly deal with what you have to. And pray he recovers. Do whatever you can to be of help to him, show support, and be a friend. Because in the end, that's the best thing you can do.
