Isn’t he jointly and severally liable for the rent money? How was the lease structured/worded?

I agree with whoever wrote that “feels emotionally unsafe” has become some weird failsafe excuse that people don’t feel they need to back up.
There are situations that give me the heebie-jeebies, because they are often precursors to actual acts of violence. Stuff like being followed. Stuff like someone shouting me down. That’s not what i see here at ALL.
I think that in 2019, some people like to play the game of splitting others into “those who validate me” and “those who are emotionally abusing me” — with no in between. So, so strange!

One point deduction only because it wasn't the very first response.

Oh. Well in that case, I suggest you to sue him or at the very least tell him he's a huge pvssy.
WHen someone says pvssy, my feminist friend said to think, "Warm and moist." Seriously, why do you use a term for female genitalia to refer to weakness? Find a better word.
I've also heard "they're tough, they can take a pounding."
Contact legal services at your university.
So your “roommate” aka dad is moving out so he can be his “authentic self” with his long time “buddy.”
Option 1-
Move upstairs and rent out basement
Option 2-
Stay in the basement and rent out upstairs

You are both absolutely wrong. I am a PA native and can name DOZENS of beers superior Yuengling. You both probably think blue moon with an orange is a real treat too huh?

What does he mean when he says that he doesn't feel safe? Am I hurting him? Threatening him? Is he worried that I am going to steal from him? Nope. He doesn't feel 'safe' because he feels that he cannot "live his authentic self" in our current living situation, and this has been "traumatic" to him. And so he moved his stuff out while I was on a weekend vacation and told me that he will not be paying his share of the rent for the last two months of the lease.
What is it with my generation that makes people think 1) being uncomfortable is equal to being "unsafe," and 2) mild discomfort (of the sort that anyone experiences when living with another person) is tantamount to "trauma"?
Wow, Snowflake, you seem really triggered by your roommate. Do you need a safe space?

You didn't give me a chance to guess. I bet I would have nailed it.

Doxxing is a crime
Just sue him in small claims court for the last two months on the rent.
Likely if it's a joint lease then you're on the hook for the full amt to the landlord. Pay it and sue him to recover.
Roommates can suck for this reason. Who cares why he bolted -- he just told you what he thought to rationalize his (temporary) theft. Demand the money and sue. Pretty straightforward here.

The snowflake label applies to people who get offended about things that don’t materially affect them. Being mad at a person who has stiffed you for thousands of dollars isn’t being triggered. It is being legitimately pissed that someone stole from you.

He's a Snowflake!
He doesn't actually mean any of that-he just strongly dislikes you but said it in a "nice" way.

This^
Actually he was pretty nice about this.
He used a wish-washy term so you can write him off as a loser and not feel bad.
He could have lit into you for all your flaws.
The problem isn't your generation...it's your parents' generation that raised you to behave in this manner.

These millennials that you hate are no different than the emo kids you used to rip on in the 80s for listening to Joy Division. Nothing has changed, everything is the same.
you are what... about 26 I'm guessing? How exactly are you qualified to compare generations?
Lol I'm 26? I wish!
