Yet ANOTHER Invasion of My Privacy
It was 2019 when I accidentally discovered via mother innocently showing me a file on her computer that she took pictures of my diary five years prior, and all because I refused to tell her what was "bothering (me)". She never knew what boundaries were. After this I might've been foolish enough to forgive her, but I haven't trusted her since.
Two months ago she showed me a photo album. In it was a picture that belonged to me. I never showed it to her before AND I was pretty sure she went into another older diary of mine to get it. I asked her how she obtained this picture and she claimed I showed it to her. I know I didn't but I stopped there.
Today she sent me a collage of pictures her phone apparently made for her. In it was that picture. So while we were talking today I asked her once again about this picture. I told her I know I never showed it to her. Her new response "well maybe I TOOK it for myself! Isn't it so cute??"
I had to get off the phone. It was the nicest thing I could do. Her admission meant that she, for some extraordinary reason, rummaged through a brief case I've had now for 20 years. She went through that diary and probably every other diary in that brief case to learn all she could about me. She must've found that picture and decided to take it, arrogant or retarded enough to assume I'd never notice.
She then texted me and told me I need to seek therapy because of my reaction. I didn't respond. The last time this occurred I absolutely refused to talk to her for two months. I think it's time I do that again, only this time I just cut her off for good. I cannot be her son if she's going to disrespect me like this.
