My grandma moved in with us

I had to give up my room and move to the basement when my grandmother moved in with us. I don’t like my grandma. She’s always sad and acts like she’s lost. I’m not talkative, so our conversations last about five seconds. I had a dream about her falling down the stairs. My mom says I’m too negative, but I can’t help it. I kinda hate myself now.
 

Dear Negative,

Don’t hate yourself. It is natural to feel less than pleased about giving up your room. Accept your mixed feelings. Can you say, “Mom, I respect you for inviting Grandma to live with us, but I wish you’d acknowledge that it’s a bit difficult”? A silver lining: Summer is the season for sleeping over at friends’ homes.
