I got key-logged by an abusive parent when I was 14. If that doesn’t make you take digital privacy and security seriously, nothing else will.

I would like you to know it's heartbreaking you had your trust violated like that by an adult you are supposed to be supported by at one of the most vulnerable age stages of your life, and I admire you as a strong, resilient person for having survived and overcome that.
