How to get away from a potentially dangerous roommate?
My roommate has been not nice since we moved in. It developed into her having fits of anger that get worse and worse. I am scared she will get violent and harm me and my stuff. I told her last time that if she got mad and threw my stuff again or came close to damaging something, I’d call the cops. I also plan to record it for evidence. But it would be nice if I wasn’t constantly worried she’d get to that point again. I want out, before I get hurt or my stuff gets damaged.
The problem is, I have no money or even a car to get my stuff out. I’m saving every cent I can, but I won’t have enough for at least a few months.
What should I do? I’ve been trying to avoid fighting by simply speaking to her as little as possible. But like I’m very uncomfortable when she’s home. I am afraid to even go cook myself food when she’s home because me cooking is what she got mad about last time when she almost broke my door down. I am very miserable. What should I do?

You need to keep yourself safe. Is there no friends or family that can help you get out sooner rather than later. Speaking with the land lord is wise. One problem that could arise is if you have a lease and your name is on it. Another avenue, is to have a friend over a lot. Don’t let yourself be alone with her anymore than necessary. Good luck and stay safe.

Yikes. I think you should be sharing this information with family or friends who can help you get it of that situation. Also, can you get your landlord involved? If she's breaking things, hee might kick her out.

Sounds like you are doing the right things. Keep avoiding her, don't provoke her, and save every cent you can. As soon as you can leave, do so. Don't even tell her you're leaving. Just get out when she's not home.
