Alright everyone! Update posted in comments. I'll post it as a main comment for visibility.
Alright, she ended up being my girlfriend. It went great!
Just kidding, everything turned shockingly insane and bad. We got back together. Her finances got even more fucked somehow. Her phone got turned off twice while I there. She got the county to pay half of her rent the next month and most of the electric balance (wtf? no idea how).
She went off her rockers on drugs (meth). She let her dealers tranny friend move in without paying anything. This tranny threatened my life twice with a >=6in knife. The first time my life was threatened, it was because the transgirl thought i was stealing money from girlfriend. I DID have her money in my wallet, but it was because the girl doesn't have a car and she ASKED ME TO GO DEPOSIT IT IN THE ATM FOR HER. I wasn't stealing it and the girl knew it, but she wouldn't stand up for me. She didn't say shit. She just watched it happen.
This girl ended up fucking the tranny while I was at work. She broke up with me and made me move out right after I paid my half of the rent.
She asked me to move back in and get back with her 2 weeks later. IDK why I accepted. This lasted two more weeks, and then she did it again. This is the second time the tranny attempted to murder me with a knife - I was devastaed and crying and didn't feel comfortable driving yet, and was asking to rest on the couch until I could get myself together. Well, transgirl didn't want me to do that. Lol.
So next, the girl kept flip flopping on who she wanted to be with. She reversed her decision a total of 3 or 4 times in the same day, within like 6 hours. All while telling both of us that there's no way she'll pick the other one and there's nothing to worry about. She was lying about so much shit to both of us that it broke both of our psyches. Me and transgirl at one point were weeping on the bed as she was sitting up on the bed like, just watching us. Holy shit.
Me and transgirl ended up having a strangely strong bond because we knew what the other was going through since she was toying with both of us. Anyway, I moved out. I've since cut this girl out completely and went no contact.
Ya know, it's pretty weird. When I write this all out it sounds fucking insane as shit. Why did I allow myself to let all this happen? No idea. Never in my life have I been involved with this type of drama or people. Only with her. I have a normal life other than her. At the time I didn't really see it for what it was. It wasn't until I was moved out and the dust settled and I started telling people what happened that the full weight of the situation hit me.
The lesson here is don't fuck insane girls. If you do, don't get attached because no matter how much you think they love you and "wouldn't do that to YOU".... eventually they're going to unleash their insanity full force on you and it wont be fun anymore.
Also, don't believe someone if they tell you meth isn't as bad as society makes it out to be and you shouldn't trip, just let them show you that they can smoke meth everyday and it'll be alright. I obviously knew it wasn't true but for some reason I just let all of this happen.
I uhhh, I need therapy. That's all.
