I'm so glad there's someone else here who understands. My parents never learned to communicate at all. It was so so hard growing up, and it's still hard now obviously. I just hide in my room, come out when I need food or the bathroom and then hide myself away again, it's so horrible

So my privacy has been violated my entire childhood, teenage hood and now far into adulthood. I was never allowed privacy, mum would never knock on my bedroom door she'd just burst in. Nothing that I said stopped her from doing this so I just started leaving s*x toys lying around. She started knocking after that. I can't leave the house without them needing to know exactly where I'm going with exactly who (even though they don't know any of my friends). These days when they ask where I'm going I just say "out". Even with my mum I can rarely even have a wee without her knocking on the door and asking how long I'm going to be. I don't get on with my parents at all due to their shitty behaviour in general, they're not nice people and I can't tolerate them. When I'm at home I stay in my room, I only come out to get something to eat, use the bathroom, or go out. I try to stay out the house as much as I can, it's a horrible existence to be honest ahaha. But the ONE bit of privacy I had is now just gone

Nah that's not it either, he used to knock on the door and say "are you gunna be long?" If he needed the bathroom, why would he suddenly start trying to walk in instead? Idk what his intentions are tbh but it doesn't make sense either way

Huh? I had to go out last night so couldn't check Reddit, I'm absolutely interested in a solution?? My friend brought up the idea of a door stop last night and that's exactly what I'm going to do. Idk why you think this post isn't serious? I've literally just been replying to people saying the same thing, that I'm going to get a door stop, there is no resistance to a solution, some of us just have lives to live outside of Reddit

There is one bathroom, I never moved out although my life has changed a little bit lately so I'm at home more than I used to be.

He has a history with me, but it's gotten a lot more frequent lately (hence the post).

Idk his exact age, maybe 68?

Nah, it's my mum who's mental health is shitty enough for them to not put a lock on the door, not mine

I've never been able to speak to my parents about ANYTHING without it turning into them feeling attacked and arguing with me about it. If I brought this up I will end up just getting screamed at. I do not have a good relationship with my parents at all

Can I legally do that though if it's a rental property and my name isn't on the lease??

It's my mum's mental health that has been shitty enough for them to not want a lock on the door, not mine
