I see my dad's side of the family every week usually and they judge me a lot and never believe what I say since I'm too young to know any better. I'm 17 and I've had to grow up quickly due to a harsh childhood. I think I should know what I think and believe and they somehow still don't believe me. I have given up on having real conversations with them, which I miss, so what should I do to get them to trust what I say? I really am out of ideas here and they are my family so I do need them.
