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!

Oh damn! That sucks. Write and entry and put a lot of explicit stuff that you do and dont tell her, and keep getting worse until you write "JK"

This definitely happened to me. My mom actually wrote a LETTER to me in my diary, circled things she didn't like with red pen and scratched out whole PAGES. Luckily I was only 12 at the time, so there was nothing too incriminating there, but i definitely learned to keep my diary WITH me from then on.

Locked box to keep all your diaries and such in. They said it was drastic...but it works for me! Lol. That does suck. I would probably die is someone read mine. I would be like, miles away and just feel someone reading it and suffer some sort of attack. Lol jk but still...

Omfg. My mom found and stole both my diaries and read them.. I vented about her and got in trouble of the things I wrote in it. Well coz they were never meant to be read! Dx I don't keep a diary anymore, my mind is my diary.

#83 That happened to me too. The first time she read that I cut myself so I got sent to a psych. The second time it was venting about them. We had a whole long painful discussion about the mean things I wrote about them. but hey, CASE IN POINT! I write horrible things because you do shit like this!

What is it with people and diaries? Nothing good ever came from them. All they are are just things that someone could get ahold of and read your deepest darkest secrets. If you really want to write something down, just type it up on your computer, and when it's all done hit delete, or if you must use a pencil and paper, write it down and then burn it. jeeze
