My mom read my journal.
I feel like I don't have a normal "mother-daughter" relationship with my mom. We're either fighting like two cats or we're the best of friends. Maybe that is "normal". But I've always been honest with my Mom about things happening in my life. She knows the good, the bad, and the ugly. I rarely keep anything from her. Except sometimes. When I put it in my journal.
My journal is the only place that I'm 100% honest with myself... It's something I have always done and my journals mean a lot to me. Having someone read between the lines of my life isn't something I am too keen on. Especially when the excuse is, "Well, it was just lying there..." Holy respect my privacy. And the worst part of it, is she's come clean to me and now she's grilling me on each and every thought that I have.
This is why I have a blog, Mom.
I like sharing what is going on with my life... To an extent. I can choose to share what I want and keep what I want. You've violated that. And for all I know you could choose to hold issues over on me and use it to your advantage. It's not fair to me, and I already am SO open with you.
Guess I have to go pre-teen here and find a hiding spot for it...

Ouch. Been there. In her defense, this was before there was such an animal as a blog, and I wasn't talking to her a lot about what was going on in my life. So you're doing better there than I did.
I believe she did it with the best of intentions, both then and now. She puts a huge amount of effort into parenting. I respect her for that even when I disagree with her methods--like right now.
I thought she and I had both learned from that misadventure.
Best of success in dealing with this. (And to her in rebuilding the lost trust.)
