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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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 found my diary on my mother's nightstand. Bookmarked. 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, I found out that my mother was having an affair with my boss "to help me keep my job" because she thought I was useless. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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."

That's terrible, but you said might ... So don't jump to conclusion until you have all the facts and know for sure. Best of luck!

While I understand where your coming from, it still sucks if that's the case of what her mom is doing. Than again she said might so maybe she's just reading too much into it.

Blackmail her!

apparently not the greatest idea because mom would lose OP's blackmail money once a week

Why did you read it?

Haven't you ever heard of a little thing called privacy? If your mother had "accidentally" read your diary, you'd be screaming your head off about how it isn't right!! You don't know what's going on in your mothers life, it's none of your business until it affects you, and it most certainly is not your place to tell your father, since you don't actually KNOW anything. If you must speak to your mother about it because you're too nosy to let her have her friends without sticking your nose into her business, then, by all means, try to speak with her about it. Or, you could be an adult and understand that her life does not revolve only around what you see of her at home, and let her have some space and privacy, and trust that if something going on in her life is going to affect you, she will speak to you about it.

Who still keeps hard written diaries these days? Didnt they watch 80's television? They cause nothing but trouble.

She should throw the book at you for that.
