My mom has a guy friend Jeff (not real name) and hes nice and all but something seems strange about him.....when im home alone he'll call and ask what im doing for no reson and he always ask me "is any one there with you?!" then he'll tell/ask "ok well im on my way over do you want anything?!" which at first I thaught thats fine hes just watching out for me....but then when he gets to the house he comes in my room and sits on my bed and watches me do whatever it is that im doing. Then other times while im in the shower he'll knock on the door and tell me to step out and come to the door.....and twice he has walked in on me while I was home alone and didnt know he was comming over....hes even opened the shower door (he didnt turn his head but he didnt stare eather) or when I get out of the shower and walk to my room (in just a towel) he comes out in the hall and starts talking to me and not even with important things just with stuff like "hey how was ur day?" then hugs me and i walk into my room and even then as soon as he hears the click if my door unlocking he comes right in......and he hugs me all the time like every time he sees me.....(the strangest thing) I have woken up in the middle of the night and he has been in my room (and im not 100% sure) but it looked like he was looking through my panties and bras......then the next morning when I woke up I relized that a few items of that catagory were missing but a few days after that I was doin laundry and he brought me my clothes out of the dryer and there they were. I just find this weird.....and im not sure what to do if it is what i think it is (i really hope its not).....im 13 years old i dont want to have to go through all of that.

anyway thank you for all your help

xoxoxo

I'm so glad this weirdo is out of your life.

I'm glad your big brother and mum took your side immediately and protected you.

Big brothers are useful sometimes.

Good Luck!! xx

Thanks for giving us an update.

I am very happy that you told your mom and that things worked out so well for you;

Your safety and security is always important; when you get a "gut" feeling or are feeling uncomfortabel about something; well then it is time to pay attention, like you did now.

Take good care, lots of hugs and SMILES.

Dear Poster

No matter what his intentions are; you NEED TO TELL your mom; this guy is invading your privacy and is making you feel uncomfortable in your own home;

Apart from all the other things; the two things that are disturbing me most is him in your bedroom at night and the fact that some of your lingerie goes missing for a while to be conveniently discovered by him later;

I see red lights flashing; you need to avoid being alone at home with him and re arrange your cupboard, pack your underwear somewhere else and put maybe T-shirt where you now have your underwear.

BUT you need to tell your mom about this, maybe you can ask her for a key to your bedroom door; she might want to know why and then you can tell her that you feel a little akward because of what has happened and you would like your privacy.

Best wishes and please keep usposted.

Lots of hugs and SMILES.

baddogbj agony auntIt doesn't sound as if you're reading too much it to it. That is very strange and very inappropriate behavior by this guy. Tell your Mum.

Sweety Pie agony auntTell your mum but in a nice way. Dont accuse him. It could be his way of looking out for you but I agree it does sound wierd. If he call again when nobody is there DONT LET HIM IN. Pretend your out. Or if he calls tell him your mum is there too.

Maybe you could show your mum this post if it makes it easier :)

Its a dificult situation but I know you'll get through it.

Good luck! xoxox

You have to tell your mum but you don't have to be all accusing about it.

Just tell her that he came over without warning and walked in on you in the shower the other day, and could she please ask him not to come over when she is not there.

Either that or does your house not have a chain on the door? A way to bolt it that can only be opened from the inside? Do that when ever you are alone. If he calls then lie, tell him you have friends coming over or that you are going out.

Start locking your bedroom door at night, or next time you find him in your room then scream (he could be a burgler after all) and turn the lights on so your mum catches him red handed.

Good Luck!! xx

Oh dear.

I would definately tell you're mom about this as soon as possible. Some abusers will try to establish a relationship with their victim (My stepdad would act as if I was his girlfriend, made sexual comments about me to my dad and such) before they act. It's a dirty game they play, and the mask they put on to make them look like decent people is very believable to those inexperienced in abuse.
