  • move out of their home!!
  • Move out on your own?
  • get a job, save up your money, move into your own place and pay your bills on time.
  • You have to earn trust, and to re-gain it you have to work at it even harder. You dont say what your mistake was, but it must have been a big one i guess, just keep taking every opertunity to show that you have learned by it, small steps. Good Luck.
  • Move out on your own and show them that you are ready to take responsibility. Only of course if you are!
  • Save your money & move out.... or move in with friends and be a good roomate... Try to show your parents despite whatever mistake you made you can become responsible by paying your bills, staying out of courts etc..
  • Be responsible. If you're in school, do all your work and get good grades. If you work, go to work every day unless you're sick and save most of your money. Whatever responsibilities your parents give you, do them and do them well. Srsly, I'm 20 and that's how it works. I haven't been being responsible lately either, but I do know the way out of parents not trusting you - make yourself trustworthy.
  • Move out. If you live under their roof, you live under their rules. Always honor your mother and father but you will never become your own person till you get out from under them. You are old enough apparently, though you didn't say what your mistake is. (That might make a difference if you did something truly awful. THey might be trying to protect you from yourself) But if you just want simple, relative freedom, move out!
  • Okay, at 20 you are an adult. Your parents have no legal authority over you, but I realize the emotional authority is sometimes worse. I have no idea what your "mistake" was, but you need to gain their confidence. I would hope that your parents have the ability to reason and listen to you. If you come up with an action plan on how you want to turn your life around let them know. I have kids about your age. One of the things I want from them is to be able to see them "talk the talk as well as walk the walk." In other words, if you say your are going to make positive change then - do it. Action speaks so much louder than words. This doesn't mean you won't have any set backs, but you need to keep focused. There are basic things parents hope their kids can display...the ability to be honest, reliable, respectable, stay on the right side of the law, be kind to theirself and others, hold a job, and the ability to learn from it all. All of that is liberating and will definately give you more independence. And, after all that is said and done, if they still don't see you as an adult - then it's their problem - not yours. Good Luck.
