My(36f) stepson (18m) has been going through my things and I'm not sure how to confront him.


My stepson has recently moved to live with me and my husband from Kentucky, to our one bedroom apartment in New York. He's a really well mannered and respectful kid for the most part.In my bedroom I have a drawer that has lingerie, bathing suits, and my sports bras (odd mix, I know). I noticed a few weeks ago that some stuff was moved around, but I chalked it up to my memory failing me (I tend to have a great memory with attention to detail.) This past weekend, my husband and I were going out of town so I set up the drawer in a way that I would know if it was opened. When I returned home, I checked and am now certain he went through my drawer again.Had it been just the one time I wouldn't have minded (because who didn't try to go through their parents things when they were young) but this second time feels like a violation. I don't want to go to his father about it because I'm afraid he will just get mad about it. I have a good relation ship with my stepson and want to approach him about it in a way that isn't accusatory, but informational and I'm not sure how to go about it. Don't get me wrong, I am furious about this violation of privacy, I just want to try to have a rational conversation about it. Any advice on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2JY99WC
