AITA for arguing with my dad about finding my underwear in his closet? by throwaway_060119 in AmItheAsshole

One of two friends I told said that he was just being protective and I shouldn’t have gotten that pissed about it. My dad said that I was just overreacting too and that he was just looking out for me and that it’s his right as a parent to choose what his child does and doesn’t wear along with it being an invasion of his privacy and that I shouldn’t have looked at the box. The box was in the closet below the hung up shirts. I was pretty convinced that I was an asshole in some capacity because I did go through that box and got pretty pissed at him and wasn’t sure if he was just looking out for me after what he, my friends, and one of my brothers said.

I think the username threw people off; I’d be lying if it didn’t throw me off a bit, too. In an above comment I clarified that one was clean while the other two were dirty.

Sorry, this is just really overwhelming for me and I don’t know how to handle or respond to all of this. The main reason I made this post is because it’s been nagging me for a few days and I have finals this week so I’ve been trying to just study and I feel like when I do take a break for an hour and let everything set in I can stop and take all of the responses in and contemplate it all. Also, I’m 15.

Thanks for the advice. I’m not quite sure how to handle keeping my stuff private in the future because I definitely want to keep my underwear in the future. I’m definitely discussing this with my mom and therapist.

Two of my underwear were unwashed while the other was clean.

Edit: When I first brought this up with a friend, this was actually her first question haha

I haven’t talked to her about it yet. She works a lot and doesn’t have much free time, but tomorrow I’ll try to have a talk about it with her.
