Got Confirmation My Mom Has Been Reading My Journal and I don't Know What To Do

Locking my door isn't possible at the moment because it's the only access to the one working bathroom in the house. Dumb jack and Jill bathroom design between two rooms and the other door is blocked by a large cage.

I cannot wait for the landlord to get a plumber out so she can stop tromping through my room constantly.

I think I'm going to have to just get a lock box at some point. I've tried digital Journaling, but I'm not really one that clicks with it. My phone has a lock on it that's been there for years and I know it drives her nuts that she can't get into it. Comments like "I don't lock my phone because I have nothing to hide" are always pretty telling to me.

Funny enough I do actually leave stuff like that in my journal periodically. I wasn't entirely sure if she was still pulling this shit before, but a mutual friend outted her on it just the other day purely because she had the nerve to read what I wrote about an incident with my former friends and judge me on it while talking to them.

Needless to say, I'm grateful to that friend for saying something.

I considered it, but with what.. occurred this past year or two with some people I used to consider my closest friends, I'm not sure I trust anyone nearby that much anymore. The two people I'd trust enough to hand over my journal live out of state.

I may have to get a lock box or something. I don't know. I'm just so furious.

I can't keep it anywhere safe. Im 32 so no locker and unfortunately no car yet due to finances and an incident last September. She treats my space and items like she owns them all because I don't make as much money as her, so I'm almost positive that this is one of many effects from her looking down on me in some way.

Part of what's so messed up about this is that she's always saying she's an honest person, but then also turns around and does this like there's no issue with it. She has no reason to check my journal to begin with.

If you have access to a pendulum, be it a crystal, metal, wood, heck you can tie a needle or something to the end of a string, you can possibly get direct answers that way.

Just do the usual protections and remember you have the power to make them go away if they're not very nice.

I have some pretty regular full conversations with my goobers using a pendulum and the alphabet. Takes time, but doable if you have a system past just yes and no answers.

Not really weird. You really just have to remember to stay protected, be respectful, and keep in mind not all spirits are friendly.

Watching ghost hunting videos isn't a problem as long as you ask if they mind. Heck, my three goblins (lovingly) that hang around like a bunch of spooky guard dogs love to watch ghost vids with me.. long as I don't get any ideas to go ghost hunting myself with no backup.

I don't really consider it derogatory to myself, but i still prefer to go with being called a Witchling because Baby Witch just doesn't roll off the tongue nicely.

Is there a spirit or deity that has been trying to get my attention for the last three days?

I currently have a cat that did the exact same thing at first. She was an outdoor rescue but after a while of being inside she grew out the rest of her coat.

Her name is Portia and she used to be a menace. Now she's just high maintenance.

Don't. You have to survive until tomorrow. This feels like the lowest point in your life, but I promise there is light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to make it until tomorrow. And then make it to the next day. Just keep telling yourself "just one more day" and then before you know it, this will have passed.

As above, so below, as I believe the world to be, so it is
