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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found my diary on my mother's nightstand. Bookmarked. FML
Today, my dad found and read my diary. Most of the entries were about how my father didn't respect my privacy. Then he phoned my aunt and read her passages from it. FML
Today, I found one of my mom's old diaries that dated back to my infant days. I couldn't help but read a little. I'm now in great concern over how many times my mom wrote that she wanted to dunk me in the toilet or throw me against a wall. FML
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
Today, feeling very distant from my daughter recently, I decided to sneak a peek in her diary to see what was on her mind. The book was apparently one of those that play the sound of a woman screaming when opened improperly, and alerted everyone in the house to my actions. FML
Today, my mom read my diary. Then she frantically booked me an appointment with a psychiatrist. FML
Today, I found my childhood diary stashed in a box in the attic. I flipped to the last page and noticed a little note written by my now deceased father. It read, "Well son, this diary proves that you're a whiny asshole - Dad." Thanks Dad, from beyond the grave. FML
Today, I found myself lying to my diary. 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 grandfather found my diary laying in the living room, and for some reason thought it was an interesting reading material. Oh well, he found out that I'm a lesbian, then panicked and basically outed me to my entire family. I really hope they have reservations in Hell. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Eh, it isn't a great thing for a mother to do, but you live/lived in her house, so she's pretty much entitled to destroying your privacy. My parents did the same thing, hence why I never kept diaries.

Yeah, not so much. So because I live in a certain county, that county can barge into my house? What about city? Country?

#50, I don't think you get what #37 was talking about.

That's ridiculous. Living with parents doesn't eliminate one's right to privacy. People who live with their parents are still people with the same human rights as anyone else.

#37: It's called a search warrant. #77: I didn't say I agreed with the mom... that's just how some parents operate. And what exactly can the OP do about it?

#37: It's called a search warrant. Hey, I never said I agreed with the mom. That's just how some parents operate. Plus, what can the OP do about it now?

it's so they don't emotionally explode. lol i keep one for when i really need it. i had problems as a kid because my parents had fights that even brought police and would put me in the middle of them so i was emotionally overwhelmed and would want to cry. but my mom would get mad if i cried because she felt that i didn't have a reason, and so i would write down my feelings or express them through art so i don't go insane, and also because of my childhood i'm not open with my emotions, so diaries are helpful with that too. it works

How long ago are we talking here? I have a diary somewhere from when I was 7 and if my mom found it, read it, and put comments in then that would be amazing. But if we're talking Jr. High and HS then that's plain ol' embarrassing. Maybe you should start commenting on the grocery lists on the fridge or find her diary from HS (she probably has it somewhere) and make up your own comments for her. But FYL because having your privacy invaded bites the big one.

Not an FML until we see some of the comments. You: I finally gave my bf of three months a ********. It was awesome. Mom: I ****** him two weeks earlier. Worthless piece of shit. Worse than your ******* dad! Now THAT would make it an FML!

oh god I know how this feels. In grade 10 I went home to find my diary empty of all pages except for one where my mother had written, " is this what I send you to school for?? foul language and boys???" I am now 22 and I have never found out where my diary went. FML.

Did your mother never go to a public school in her life? I thought that kind of stuff was pretty universal.
