something happened this morning and i have no one to talk to about this.
my uncle barged into my bedroom with my mother in the house who knew full well that i was changing in my room. they already make a huge deal about locking doors (especially my uncle and grandma who live next door and just bang on the door relentlessly till i open it).
anyways, my uncle barged in, stood there gawking at me for five good seconds then left without a sorry. i felt extremely violated and got mad and called my mom irresponsible which my uncle heard while leaving.
when i came back home from school, they were all up on me calling me a bad girl (cuz i called my mom irresponsible) and saying how i don’t have manners and am totally spoiled now and basically forcing me to apologize.
what infuriates me most is that no one acknowledges that i feel violated and what my uncle did was wrong. even my mom is trying to cover this up saying things like “she’s still a child”, “she doesn’t understand” (i am 18).
i feel really bad that no one is confronting my uncle and instead pining it all on me for being disrespectful. my family is acting like victim silencers and it makes me feel awful that they’re trying to make me apologize.

If your door opens in to the room, you can get a wedge shaped piece of wood or something like that to put under the door while you’re inside to keep it shut. If anyone tries to barge in on you, ‘oopsies, the door got stuck’. Good luck, keep looking forward to the day when you can leave and never go back ever again.
