How to Keep Your Dad Out of Your Personal Space

Ever since I turned 17, I noticed my dad started coming into my room more often, sometimes looking through my stuff. It made me feel like my privacy didn’t matter, and I struggled to talk to him about it. Eventually, I realized that open communication was key. I explained how his actions made me feel and asked if we could agree on some boundaries. We also set up a signal—if my door was closed, it meant I needed space. It wasn’t easy at first, but over time, things improved, and I felt more respected at home. Have you ever dealt with a parent invading your privacy?
