Has your mother ever walked in on you at an inappropriate time?

My mom walked in on me masturbating.

She just kinda giggled and went “Ooops!”, I laughed and felt a bit embarrassed, then she said sorry, and that she would leave and let me finish, and left.

That was it. Wasn’t a big deal.

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?
