Miscellaneous: Today, I was helping my mom look for some money she'd misplaced....

Today, I was helping my mom look for some money she'd misplaced. At my wit's end, I flipped through her diary, in case she'd hidden it between the pages as she has before. Didn't find the money, but I did find out she might well be cheating on my dad. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I went into my Moms room to look for a t-shirt. I went into her drawer and behind all of her clothes was a cell phone. Not only did I not find the t-shirt, I also found out my Mom is cheating on my Dad with someone from work and now I have to pretend like I don't know. I work there too. FML

Technically, that's stealing

Today, I told my mom about the $50 I'd hidden in case of an emergency, and how I couldn't find it. She said she'd borrowed it last week. FML

Today, I found my long lost diary and curiously read it. What's worse than finding out that your mother read your diary? Finding out that your mother wrote comments in it. FML

Today, I discovered my own mother has been stealing money from me for months when I opened my savings box to find it empty. FML

Today, I slipped money into my mother's purse after she refused to let me pay for lunch. She caught me in the act and thought I was stealing money from her instead. FML

Today, I panicked when I realized two of my diaries were missing. I turned the house upside down, and found them in the guest room, tucked away in a dresser drawer. My only visitor in the last six months was my mom. I’m 37 years old. FML

Today, my mom cleaned out my bank account, saying my "no-good dad" owes her child support and that she'll get it one way or another. FML

Today, I discovered that the reason my mom hasn't been noticing the extra cleaning I've done lately is because her boyfriend took credit when she asked about it; and was rewarded for it in bed. I helped him get with my mom. FML

OP if you took the time to read pages, that doesn't sound like "flipping through" to me.

Maybe she flipped it up to a random page and there was a statement like "I fiddled with the gardener."

I don't see how flipping and reading are the same word

Isn't your mom a little old to be keeping a diary?

This is exactly why I never, or will I ever keep a diary. Someone will always find it and read all your private thoughts.

I've learned the hard way when I was 12.

Talk to your mum about it, and figure out what's going on. This isn't something to keep from dad.

OP confront it now. Don't let it go. I had suspected my dad was cheating on my mom but was too afraid to say anything and we all found out the hard way.

You deserve it for being nosy. Flipping pages is one thing very different than reading every word. Shame on you!

I agree that it's really bad to go through other people's personal things like that, even if it was just flipping through, but I don't think that means OP deserved to find out their mom is cheating. Plus, OP might have just caught a few words which looked a bit dodgy and read on because of that.
