Why isn't leaving an option?

Only temporarily...gotta live with it for another two and a half weeks.

Focusing on the fact that you will only have to deal with it for another two and half weeks should be some comfort. But I know how anticipation of being out of a bad situation can actually amplify all the little annoyances. So try distraction if you can.

Check out short stay lodging in your city..most churches have emergency housing...leave as soon as you can..especially if your safety or sanity are at risk!!

Indifference is your best weapon. And if you're leaving - play the role although you've mentally checked out. Let them think they're "winning." There's a lot to be said about the power of the silent, smooth exit.
