Question Posted Saturday February 17 2007, 5:41 pm
Every time I try to tell my dad something, he doesn't believe me. If I encounter a problem on the computer, he automatically assumes I did something. Like I had trouble with the internet connections, saying it doesn't work on my account. I showed my sister, too and she says she can't figure it out. And when I show my dad, he says, "yeah, whatever.. you must of screwed your settings up. There is nothing I can do since you did it so it's your problem." So I reply, "I swear, I didn't do anything! It's been doing this since we switched ISPs." And he is the computer nerd of the family! Plus, some times my dad will lose something and he will blame me for it. I don't cause trouble in the community, and I get good grades. I am a good person, and I don't go around doing bad things, yet my dad doesn't trust me and he never believes me! What can I do?
Also, as a note I have no virus on the computer or anything, so don't say that. Thanks..

"Dad I need to talk to you! Have I ever done something so terrible to make me untrustworthy? Any lie I told that was so far out of this world that you could never believe me again? Because, I am your daughter/son. & you're really supposed to trust me & believe what I tell you. But ever since that computer situation you just don't seem to be understanding what I'm trying to get through to you. I don't lie, & I believe what you say, so why can't you believe me?" I bet he will give you an answer so you can improve if you've done anything you don't remember.
