My dad secretly brought his girlfriend into our house and let her stay in the basement without telling me

I’m honestly really upset and uncomfortable with what my dad has done.

My dad has a girlfriend who was homeless, and he brought her into our house to stay here. What makes this worse is that he kept her in the basement for about a week without telling me. I had no idea that someone I barely know was staying in our home.

He didn’t ask me. He didn’t talk to me about it. He just made the decision and brought her into the house.

I understand that she is in a difficult situation, and I’m not blaming her for being homeless. My problem is with the way my dad handled this. This is my home too, and I feel like I should at least have been told before someone was brought into the house and allowed to stay here.

Finding out that she had already been staying downstairs for days made me feel like something was being kept from me in my own home.

I’ve told my dad that I’m not comfortable with this, but he doesn’t seem to take my feelings seriously. I feel like my boundaries and sense of safety in my own home are being completely ignored.

Technically my dad is the tenant, so he can do what he wants but i am still uncomfortable with what he has done. I told my dad we could put her in a homeless shelter but her lit said no, i dont want this person being in my house.

Am I wrong for being this upset? What would you do in this situation?

Tbh I want her to move out, i dont feel safe and comfortable in my own home, I told my dad if we could send her to a homeless shelter or buy her a house, but he wouldn't listen.

Technically he is the tenant of the house and he gets to invite who ever he wants over, but i dont want her over.
