So about a week ago I (22f) asked my parents (47m & 40f) if they could stop by my apartment just to check on my dog who had been sick while I was at work. My mom agreed and everything seemed fine, they went over, gave my dog his medicine and took him for a walk.
Today though I went to my parents place for dinner and my Stepdad refused to speak to me or even look at me. Eventually I finally asked what the problem was and he went off. Apparently he had been going through my things, and when he went into my bedside drawer found my “toys” and contraceptives. He yelled at me and told me that I was a “disappointment” and “foul” for having those things and that he didn’t raise me for 17 years for me to become a “deviant whö%e”.
I stood there absolutely shocked and bright red from embarrassment as my younger brothers and grandparents were in the next room and could hear him. I yelled at him for invading my privacy, telling him that I am an adult woman and that he had no right to go through my things in an apartment I pay the bills in. I have banned him from my home and have now blocked him. My mom says that I’m being dramatic and that it just caught him off guard to see those things but my brothers think I’m right to be angry. What are your opinions? Did I over react?
