My mom married my stepdad when I was 10. She was 35 and he was 47. He had a 5 year old daughter, Jen. His wife had passed away about two years earlier.
My father was in the military so him getting more than visitation wasn't really an option. I asked of I could go live with my grandparents but my mother wouldn't allow it. I honestly think she just wanted my child support. Her and I do not get along for a whole host of reasons.
Jen didn't really like me. Whatever. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose your mom at 3 years old. I tried to be friendly with her but it never worked.
I'm 19 now and just finished my first year of community college. I'm hoping to do well enough to transfer to complete my four year degree at a state college.
I just got back from camping with friends and my mom and stepdad were waiting for me. They had my journal out.
Mu private journal where I write my private thoughts. Which I keep in my room in my desk. So there is no reason for it to be out.
They want to talk to me about some of the things I wrote. I asked them what the fuck they are doing touching my things. I take my journal and go to my room. It is a fucking mess.
They decided to let Jen use it while I was gone. She decided to go through my stuff to amuse herself.
I've been trying to figure myself out and trying new things. Please do not DM me I am not interested.
I wrote about my ideas and activities just to keep it straight in my head you know. Anyway Jen decided to read my journal and then tell her father about what I wrote.
They pounded on my door telling me that we are family and that they are worried about me. That I don't need to keep secrets from them.
Fuck that.
I had already been talking to my grandma and she said I could stay with them now that I'm an adult.
My stuff was still in my car so I just grabbed what was left that mattered to me and I left.
Before I left I was screaming at them that privacy is important and that I will not be back. They kept saying that we needed to talk about the stuff I was doing in my personal life.
I just left.
And then I took them up on their very thoughtful suggestion. I posted all about their private lives to my family.
I posted about how they like to swing. How my stepdad likes to watch young guys go at my mom. All the stuff I wish I didn't know. And some of this trickled down to younger family members who know Jen. So now she knows. I had always done my best to keep it away from her.
So now they are being gossiped about and my stepdad is pissed because guys at his work know what he does. My mom won't talk to me. I'm fine with that. She preferred her more conventionally girly daughter Jen over me since they met.
I actually feel kind of shitty for Jen. She does not need to know this stuff about her dad and the woman who has been her mom for nine years. My mom and stepdad should be okay with this though since I only shared it with family.
EDIT
I posted in our family Facebook group. I didn't make a public post. Someone pointed out that is relevant.
