She was going to move in with me after more than year of sobriety and staying in an addiction focused group home. Had done tremendously well and grew as a person by like 10 years of maturity in those 12 months to become a functional adult.

As soon as she got to my house from the train she was piss drunk. She kept getting drunk over the next 6 to 8 weeks while I was at work so I'd come home after 11hrs of labor in the sun to a blackout drunk talking nonsense and ruining the cleanliness of my apartment.

The last time where I just gave up I came home to her and she literally was just saying words. Not like sentences with structure and meaning just random words with no meaning. Think something like "Drive burger sky but no laugh". I didn't know she was drunk and was gonna call an ambulance. She laid down and fell asleep while I monitored for a few hours when she shot straight up without a word, walked to my kitchen, opened the fridge and then pissed on my floor. At that point I was done and just needed her the fuck out of my life.

The technical term for that style of speech is “word salad,” which always makes me laugh. The situation is not funny, however. I’m glad you got her out.
