Why can my parents see my texts on their Iphone that was only meant for a friend?

When I text some of my friends(not a group message) my mom gets text from both me and my friend. I have a seperate apple account, iphone, and different contacts. I dont know how to fix this but I just dont want them reading my texts. Thank you for any help in advance.

Because you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this, on one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Or, on both your phone and your mom's phone, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

I am having the same problem. I called AT&T and apple about it but my mom still gets my messages. I changed my apple ID and that didnt work so i went into her phone to uncheck my number but she went back and checked my number again to start getting my texts again. I dont know what to do, i'm 22 years old and i cant even figure this out. is there some way i can prevent her from doing this?? PLEASE HELP
