I Have Really Bad Trust Issues With my Parents, and Vice Versa
When I was younger, before I started cutting, I parents, I noticed, would lie to me. One time, when my aunt and uncle were getting divorced. They didn't tell me, but I knew, and one time, when I realized they were talking about it, I asked what they were talking about it. They told me it was nothing, but I knew it wasn't. They never really did tell me, or question how I knew. Several mixed signals like that happened.
Throughout the years, my cat and rabbit died, and my mom lost her baby. They were wrapped up in their own feelings, but I grieved properly. I eventually started cutting for no reason at all. It felt great and had nothing to do with grieving. I even looked up stuff that could scientifically explain it because I don't want to die. I found something that said some kids that self-harm that don't want to die usually have less Endorphins than I should have, and I know bleeding releases Endorphins, but I don't know if that is it either.
To get back on track, my parents found out because I took pictures of the cutting on my phone, and they looked through it. They suddenly told me to keep my door open all the time, the only time I can is when my brother comes over and I stay up with him until after my parents have gone to bed.
I have had deeper conversations with comfort with my friends and brother than my parents. My mom recently tried to talk to me about why I didn't like camping. The truth is I like my time alone at night. I still play imaginary games and don't want others to see. I hate that my door is open and they can see in, but I don't know how to tell her I want my door closed.
During the conversation with her, I could tell she didn't like that I was stressed about camping, that she thought I would cut again. I just wanted to feel alone, because ever since the day they found out, I always feel watched. At the end of the conversation, the most nerve racking thing I had ever done, I went to bed and finally relaxed, but she came back in to talk, like I was going to cut, and to talk some more, and I instantly got stressed. She thought I was hiding something, but I wasn't. Now my parents are selling the camper because of me, and I wished I actually trusted my parents.

Funny you mention keeping your door open. We have brought our kids up with zero privacy. Doors always open. We actually have one large bedroom with all 3 of them in it.
