 |  My moms boyfriend.
My mom’s boyfriend comes over to the house a lot and I have been trying to figure out ways of dealing with his annoying personality. Sometimes he would come in to my room and we would talk but I don’t like talking to him. He used to be addicted to alcohol but now he is clean and makes jokes about drugs. Any ideas on how to deal with this? |

Respect your mom's choice of boyfriend (so long as he isn't harmful in any way). At the same time, if you don't like his company be polite but excuse yourself and find something else to do or somewhere else to be (as silicon toad said).

Think about how you would like your mom to behave, if she didn't like your girlfriend. Act the same. I second the advice about respecting your mom's choice and politely guarding your private space. |

you need to learn to vocalise ......... as long as you do nothing you are not representing yourself as a person with thoughts and feelings seriously if he is going to be in the picture you need to learn to comunicate with him |

Everyone's already given good advice. I would just reassert that you should respect your Mom's choice, but it is also necessary to make sure the boyfriend respects your space. Maybe he's just trying to be "cool" and get your approval. In any case, if you're uncomfortable with him coming in your room, just let them both know that if your door is shut- knock first! They should respect your privacy.
