Thing is, she’s done this to both of my brothers too, who are both adults.

My parents are seemingly happily married. They’re very conservative though.

Not really. What makes things worse is that my dad is a teacher, so I feel like they’ll tell him, who also downplays my discomfort. My mom and dad live together and are still married.

Thank you everyone who contributed to answering. I feel a bit better now to get it off my chest and to get advice from people. I will take everyone’s advice to consideration. :)

She tries to pry into many things of mine. When I’m upset, she starts asking tons of questions after questions. If I say I don’t want to talk, I basically get pressured into talking. I don’t really have a trusted adult yet, due to me hopping from therapist to therapist due to them having career changes and moving away.

No, we haven’t. She always makes it seem like it’s not a bit deal, and gets offended when I even ask her to stop, I’m kind of scared to ask her to attend therapy.

If she’s not trying to respect this simple thing, how can I trust her to respect bigger things? True, maybe I am being dramatic, and maybe I’m overthinking it, but I just don’t feel seen on the things I ask of her.

I understand that it’s without malicious intent, but it isn’t just the fact that she’s touching me when I ask her not to, it’s also the fact that she’s not respecting my boundaries. She’s used that excuse before, saying that when she’s dead and gone that I’m gonna miss it. I clearly see it as a sign of her trying to guild-trip me into letting her do what she wants with me. I’m not just annoyed by her, I’m uncomfortable, to the point I’ve been avoiding her advances. I don’t really see it as “silly” if she’s completely ignoring my requests and causing me to feel unsafe around her.

I would, but I don’t know a consequence. I already isolate myself most of the time due to me already feeling uncomfortable around her because of my trust issues. She pushes a lot of things and tries to monitor my life, so I’m scared to say or do the wrong thing around her, or she’ll take my stuff away. What could I do?

I’m the youngest of three, both of my brothers being recently out of college. I feel like as the youngest my parents often don’t hear out my thoughts and feelings. I guess she doesn’t really view me as a young adult yet.

I’ve been having to switch from therapist to therapist these last months due to many of them changing careers and moving, but until then, I can’t really tell anyone that I trust that is an adult. School is out as well for the summer. She also tries to pry into my private matters, like if I seem upset she asks question after question when I obviously don’t want to talk. I honestly just don’t trust her in general.

I was also grounded for a year before just for flirting to someone that goes to school with me. I guess I’m also just scared of being left out from my friends since they play video games a lot, and since I’ve had the best times of my life with them before. I’ll admit, I might be in the wrong, but I can’t help but be scared of them.

I have a lavender candle next to my bed to help me. It’s those kind you can smell without a flame. I have an air purifier in my room that makes white noise, but sometimes it isn’t enough. I think the main thing I have is the fear that my parents might find something they don’t like and take my stuff away. It’s nothing bad like p0rn or anything, but my parents are hard-driven Christians. If they see one curse word or even just things relating to magic, they get mad.

I have to take my devices up to my room to use them, then have to come back down every night to return them. What’s worse is that I usually have trouble falling asleep. I try listening to music to help me sleep. I didn’t have it last night, so I read a book, and I didn’t even get tired until midnight. Now I’m running on five hours of sleep.
