I have so much anger, resentment and sadness right now. Single mom. Worked really hard to raise my two kids completely on my own. But worked really hard for my dependence and broke up from a very codependent relationship with someone a year ago.

 I recently arranged and curated an art exhibition and one of the artists i invited who lives in another town asked if he could stay with me if he flies to town for the exhibition. I thought it would just be for the weekend. Told him he’s welcome but my two kids and I live in a small apartment so he’s welcome to either sleep on the couch or stay in my small art studio that’s 5km away but that there’s no bath/shower in the studio. He arrived yesterday and now i hear he’s here for 10 days! He’s also now asked if he could rather come sleep in the apartment from next week instead of travelling here to shower. My kids are both currently writing exams. I am under so much work pressure myself. Tried to work in my studio today but can’t focus with him there. And now i seem unable to sleep tonight. I don’t know how I’m going to get through this week. I know he’s seeing it as a career networking opportunity and even though I am far from well off I earn more than he does but i feel a little bit taken advantage of. And also angry at myself for not being more boundaried - I’ve already offered to take him on outings two days next week and he then asked if I could also take him to some event the one evening and i sheepishly agreed to that too but now I regret it. 

I am annoyed with myself for finding myself in this situation AND now I’m going to be sleep deprived tomorrow too.
