advice

just warning you, this may get long!

last night me and my boyfriend of nearly 3 years were in my room and sleeping. not fooling around, literally sleeping. then my dad comes in and freaks out bitching like we had sex or something.

the situation is that i'm the only girl in the family and they treat me like crap. i do the dishes almost every night, take care of my sick grandma, do the laundry, clean the house, and do well in school yet they still look down upon me like i can't be trusted. i am a very responsible girl and i have had enough of them snooping through my room and checking up on me.

the only possible reason why i think they could be acting like this is that we don't communicate very well with each other, let alone get along. maybe bitching is their way of talking to me? even so, that doesn't explain the overprotectiveness!

my question is what can i do to make them trust me? i feel like i've done everything, all ending in failure.

i used to really HATE them for what they put me through, but when they made an effort to BE NICE things got better. our relationship has improved over the past two of months, but after what happened last night, my grudge against them has returned.

please help, i don't know what else i can do. it seems like nothing is ever good enough for them...

You really just need to talk to them. Tell them exactly how you feel. It sounds like they care, but don't know how to show it. They don't know how you feel, so you've got to tell them. Tell them that you're old enough to have privacy. Just communicate with them every day and just talk about your day or whatever, and they'll get more comfortable talking to you and trust you more. Also, if they still don't get that you're doing all this work, stop doing it for awhile and see if they notice. Good luck!
Hope I helped!
