Talking to my new therapist is wonderful. I see her every other school day!

She's wonderful. She's already figured out the roots of many of my problems!

That is fantastic! Good for you! I'm glad you're getting some good help. :) Keep up the therapy!

You really deserve to be able to see someone that you can confide in. And it's wonderful that you can trust her. I'm glad things are starting to go well for you now. :)

The only thing I can't confide in her is exact reasoning for hating my dad. Except little minuscule things. Can you believe my privacy issues are from my father punishing me about something I wrote in my diary he read when I was 7?

I'm soooo glad you are getting help. Blessings EMOP

Your diary is yours, unless you were REALLY having issues as a small child, he has no reason to look at them. And if those things that he read were about him, then he should have thought about WHY you saw things that way instead of getting angry at you, because if it WAS about him, then what you word was caused by something HE did, and he shouldn't blame you for his actions.

I hope you become comfortable enough with her so that you share that information with her too. It will go a long way toward your healing.

One other thing that I want to add: If anyone chooses to invade your privacy, then you are NOT responsible for the way they feel about it. If they're going in and looking for dirt, they better be prepared for what they might find. Your thoughts and diary are meant for you unless you choose to share them. So whatever he read, it's not your fault how he felt about it, it's his.

He read about me hating him and me kissing my first girlfriend. Haha

I told her that! I just can't tell her exactly why I hate my father. At least not yet

I guarantee that he was more angry at himself then he was at you. But he doesn't know that, and he'd rather blame someone else. You know what I would do?

If you do start another journal make the first page say something like this:
"If you are reading this right now, without my consent, then be warned that there's a good chance that you will not like what you see. This journal is for me to write down my innermost thoughts, and if you don't like them, that's not my fault. I did not write this journal for you to read, or judge me, or punish me. . So you make the choice, because if you do continue, and decide you don't like it, I don't want to know about it. I don't care how you feel about what I wrote down, because I didn't write it down for you. I am not responsible for how you feel about what you had no invitation to read. So think carefully before you continue, because once you read it, you can't put it back on the page and forget about it, and it will have been entirely your choice to impose yourself on my thoughts Use your judgement"

Haha Ohso, I got in trouble for disrespect for something similar in my last journal!

A journal is your own personal thoughts and feelings. Your space should be respected by your parents.

Disrespect? Is that a joke? They're disrespecting you by reading your journal. Screw that. They might be your parents but you DO have the right to your privacy. They can just get the heck over it. That's just childish. Just wait girly, one day you'll be moved out from there and can write down whatever you want_wherever you want, and they won't be able to say a darn thing about it. Disrespect - my a$$.

They play the "I'm the parent" card anytime I say I want privacy

I'd laugh at them. Just laugh and say "if you say so sir" because honestly, that's a joke. YES, you do have to obey and respect your parents to an extent, BUT, they have to show you respect too, this includes giving you your privacy. Really, when you can, you should try to move out. Maybe with a family member or someone you're close to. But only if you feel like it's the right thing to do, and you have the means to support yourself.
