My dad forced me to take my younger brother in. It’s been 3 months now and I’d like my own room back. Would it be wrong to ask him to leave?

I rent one room and about 3 months ago my dad kicked my younger brother out of his house and forced him on me. I was angry but I wanted to help my brother so I took him in. The one room I rent is now half mine and half his. It’s been almost 3 months now and I really prefer to have my own room back. I’d feel bad telling him to leave but it’s quite hard renting one room for my brother and I. He does pay rent though but I need my space back. I am trying to help him get another spot and I can’t move yet until I’ve paid off most of my debt. He’s 24 and I’m 26. What should I do? Try to deal with it the best that I can even though it’s affecting my life negatively or be honest with him and say I’d like my own room back?

    Give him a month to find alternate living situation.  If he's still around after a month, kick him out.

    Your brother is a young adult and 3 months is plenty of time to get yourself on your feet and find your own space. I say let him know that you want your space back. Put a time limit on it for him to move and let him know that you are serious about this dead line. Stand your ground if he gets defensive.

    Your dad forced nothing.  You just caved.  Man up, grow up, and boot your brother.
