so i found out that my parents have been reading my diary. yes, the very one where i scribble down all those personal thoughts and feelings meant for nobody else's eyes but mine!!! it was a total breach of trust, and i'm not even sure how to confront them without making things more tense at home????????? it's driving me nuts.

like, they think they're being helpful or whatever. maybe they think they're protecting me from something? but i can't help but feel violated. this isn't the same as glancing through a school report or checking up on my grades... this is real personal stuff about how i feel and what i go through every day!!!!!! referencing 'a stitch in time saves nine' doesn't quite apply here...

it's just so unexpected to learn they'd cross this line of privacy. with strict rules at home, you'd think boundary-setting would include respecting mine??? apparently not!!! makes you wonder if they'll ever actually let anything be personal???? are there any aspects of privacy left for me?

i stick to concise communication because it's easier, hoping to discuss issues rationally as suggested by many experts! but in this case, keeping objective seems almost impossible when privacy lines are blurred so easily!!!! i've tried being optimistic though and hope with time we can work out a resolution that restores my autonomy???? maybe soon??
