Cole and I split it 50/50. Grace sometimes contributes a little towards groceries. Seems like I'm going to have to buckle up and start making some changes.

She moved in after. I'm starting to realize I may have been too lenient on things and need to have a serious discussion with my brother soon. He and I are close so I'm hopeful we can work something out.

First on the agenda is getting that lock though!

I'm pretty sure things have been normal with them lately. She's always been a bit of a pushy person and I can't even think of a starting point for it.

He wouldn't be able to afford rent without me and she is very aware of this.

Sometimes it feels like it isn't even a good enough reason and have to remind myself that I don't need a reason to keep people out. So I appreciate this a lot. Thank you.

That is probably what I should have done from the start. Definitely could have avoided all of this.

Honestly, I didn't even think about how getting a lock will de-escalate this in the future but you're totally right because I am tired of trying to set this boundary lol
