My friend, I agree, respect is earned, not demanded. But I am not suggesting you demand his respect. I am suggesting you show that you have it for yourself.
That is the mindset I am talking about. Sometimes I feel as if you walk around on eggshells and that isnt right.
It is your home, too, and he is not doing the right thing in it.
There is absolutely nothing wrond with setting boundaries. As long as they are set to protect you and not to punish him.
We are New Yorkers, so you know the attitude I'm talking about. LOL!
When you pass him, look at him like, whatever buddy, and keep on going.
He is lucky he has been allowed to stay as long as he has, sweetie. Maybe he is starting to get that.
