Also, I think it’s less his reaction and more that I know I have no legal way to get him to leave, so I’m not sure what good it would do to ask him when I know he won’t do it. I felt I made my feelings somewhat clearer when I said, “You are free to go if you don’t like it here.”
I am also thinking about what may said a few posts back about not making myself small in the house. I think I need to focus on that too—making sure I am taking up space and not shrinking because I am worrying about some reaction. I can continue to show that I am confident I deserve to be here as much as he does.
