The reason I asked, dear Adalie, is that I was thinking 🤔, if it’s not only that you are dependent on him financially, but he is dependent on you as well, you have some power in the situation.

Also thinking- when he approaches you sexually like you described and knowing you don’t like it, I hope that you don’t let him use your body that way. He doesn’t have that right!

Dear Adalie:

You may want to consider Room and Board in exchange for Caregiving of an elderly or handicapped person where the caregiver (that would be you) receives a private room, meals, and sometimes a small salary in exchange for some help with daily tasks.

There are programs called “Senior homeshare” or “homesharing with a caregiver” that match older adults with younger people who need housing. The younger person provides companionship or light care in exchange for free or low‑cost housing.

What do you think about this option, Adalie (I don’t remember if we discussed this before)?
