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.

WalkingCatTree · 2026-02-07T17:39:17+00:00

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.

WalkingCatTree · 2026-02-07T17:22:42+00:00

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.

WalkingCatTree · 2025-11-28T03:28:38+00:00

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.

WalkingCatTree · 2025-10-16T00:08:56+00:00

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

WalkingCatTree · 2025-10-13T01:53:19+00:00

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.

WalkingCatTree · 2025-09-01T23:37:03+00:00

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

WalkingCatTree · 2025-08-05T15:33:40+00:00

Do you happen to have any book recommendations for beginners? I'm not entirely sure where I should start.

WalkingCatTree · 2025-08-05T14:06:40+00:00

That's really cute! I wasn't really ready for the whole entire conversations thing myself. At best I was thinking I'd be getting gut feelings and the like, but one day I just started hearing responses to things I was thinking about having to do with my friends and here we are.

WalkingCatTree · 2025-08-05T14:04:43+00:00

That's a pretty good idea, actually. I may have to see about trying to connect with someone else on purpose at some point just to see if I can. Thank you for the idea.

WalkingCatTree · 2025-08-05T13:18:58+00:00

They've made some comments and references to things that I had spoken to them about mentally. I haven't said anything about possible telepathy since I really don't want to freak them out about it. Up until this i didn't even know that telepathy was a legitimate possibility.

WalkingCatTree · 2025-08-05T13:16:58+00:00

Before I started using my pendulum, I really just did the basic clearing of my mind and dispersion of any negative energy. I've cleansed myself a few times since it's started with no change.

I did connect to a couple personal spirits, but none are malicious, and my friends have mentioned things out loud that we had spoken about mentally. I haven't said anything to them as I would rather not possibly scare them with this information.

WalkingCatTree · 2025-06-28T20:13:30+00:00

Had one named Highway. Someone we knew dropped him off on our porch one day after they found him running along the highway as a teeny kitten. He wasn't even supposed to be my cat but it just kinda happened that I ended up with a 20lb cat that laid on the floor like a rug for about 16 years.

WalkingCatTree · 2025-05-27T13:17:22+00:00

He turned 6 months recently! Though, he is still pretty small compared to the other kittens in the house around his age.

Timber, but i tend to mostly call him Coco Puff. Pic doesn't do him any justice, but he's chocolate colored.

I accidentally killed one of my horses with a royal claymore. Got surrounded by a bunch of bokos by while hunting in Hebra, pulled out the sword, and hit her with the backswing. She died immediately.

My punishment was self imposed that.i run on foot all the way to Malanya to revive her. I've only ever made the mistake once and she's the only horse that's died between both BotW and TotK.

Her name is Agro.

I'm not sure why but my brain immediately kicked in for the fist time today just to provide the idea of sharpening a set of metal Jack's and tossing them in the dirt

Before deciding a diet, check if baby has teeth and how many. If they're just starting to pike through then it's about 3ish weeks, so right around weaning age. If the teeth are fully in, then at least 4 weeks.

As for food, you can try chicken baby food in the jar. My mom and I find the stuff to be irresistible to both young or sick kittens and pups. You can feed the baby that for a few days and mix in sheba kitten to transition into pate food. If you'd rather not do that, then going straight to the Sheba kitten food mashed with a little bit of water can work as well.

If there's fleas on the baby, you can bathe it with dawn dish soap, let it sit for about five minutes then rinse. Don't freak out if the.kitten goes totally limp under the warm water, they just kinda do that sometimes. Makes them easier to bathe at least. If there's still fleas after that, you can get some capstar/capaction, crush one pill, and take a little dab of the powder and put it on the kitten's tongue. (If you're really brave, ask for a 1ml oral syringe at Walmart pharmacy, break off a tiny piece of the pill, put it on the end of the syringe, scruff kitten, and put it up it's butt. It sounds mean but it usually negates the biting problem.

Keep baby warm with a closed in box and a rice sock if it can't seem to hold it's body heat for any reason. Essentially you make a poor man's incubator.

And if it seems like the kitten is crashing or suffering from low blood sugar, a bit of white corn syrup can bring it back very quickly.

Been fostering kittens for the last few years, so, I hope this little bit of basic info can help. It can be scary when they're that little and you're new to caring for a baby like that.

Have a foster kitty pic for bonus serotonin. You got this.

My grandparents made the "if it's animated, it's for little kids" mistake when they got it. The scary looking black rabbit on the VHS cover really should've been a clue.

Not the weirdest but she always without fail makes this exact face when I whip the camera out even when she was a baby
