Re: Advice please
Thanks for coming to us here on ReachOut

I can see why you'd be upset - it feels like such an invasion when someone looks through anything of yours that you haven't allowed them to. It just always feels so wrong! Especially if (like me) you're a private person.
I'm not sure what your relationship is like with your mum, but I always think that honesty is the best policy (I know it's an annoying saying, but it's always worked best for me). Can you talk to your mum about this and let her know how it's made you feel? Just let her know that you didn't like that she did that and set the ground rules for the future - e.g. If she wants to borrow money, just ask and you'll see what you can manage (or whatever you feel comfortable with).
Hope that helps.
JD

Re: Advice please
Hey Jadei
An invasion of privacy is a terrible thing and its so disrespectful as well. My mum has gone in my room and gone through my things without my permission and we have argued over this privacy. Sometimes I think because she is my mum she can do whatever she wants so talking hasnt worked, she just doesnt listen so I've just hide what I need to from her whether its shoes, money or information but thats how I deal with it but if you have a close relationship with your mum have you tried talking to her? maybe writing a letter?
Hope all goes well
