Oh! man. I can't get over with this. I can't seem too. What the HELL DID I DO. I betrayed the trust and he still doesn't know that. Here's the whole story: Today my father said these words when I took out the money to bring somethings that my mother need, " Don't show me the cash, I trust you son". I knew that he trusted me but I didn't knew that he trusted me with blind eye's. How did I betrayed his trust? Whenever I needed money to buy something to me, I always took out without asking him for. Previous month I took around 5 dollars and this month I've already taken out 2 dollars but that all without his permission and without him knowing. Oh, I'm so depressed when he said that words. I can't get over with it and I shan't. Since thta I've been alone and behaving better and not asking him to buy anything or nothing for me.

I think what you are saying is that you stole from your father? If this is true it doesn't matter that it was only a few dollars here and a few dollars there. It also doesn't matter that you stopped. The point is that you stole from your father. You need to sit down with him and tell him what you did. You should also make arrangements to repay him I think. Trust is very important in any relationship and you admit yourself you have betrayed his trust. Once you come clean you will feel a lot better hun. Good luck, and I wish you all the best.

well i agree with you. I think you should make your father realise that you actually stole his money behind his backand you should show enough remorse about it. I think i like the fact that you have a guilty conscience because that might make your father forgive you. You also have to tell him what you used the money for and make him realise the reason you took it without telling him about it but then the major thing is to ask for his forgiveness and make him a promise you wouldnt steal his money again whatever the pressures from inside

Whenever you feel this awful about something sit down and figure out why you feel so bad. There are lots of times in our lives that we feel bad but maybe shouldn't, maybe we're being too hard on ourselves, maybe we had unrealistic expectations, etc. In those cases the solution is just a matter of adjusting what we personally think and feel inside. In this case I would think you feel bad because you know that what you did wasn't right. Think it through completely. Are you now scared that he will reject you somehow if he finds out? That you'll be in trouble? Once you've thought it all through follow my formula: recognize that what you did was wrong, take full responsibility, apologize to yourself for putting yourself through these bad feelings, forgive yourself, do what you can to fix it (repaying the money would be a good idea), make amends with your father and allow him his feelings whatever they may be, then go on free and clear doing your very best to never make the same mistake again.

You have admitted have betrayed your your father's trust in you. Your consciense is bothering you. Hopefully you have learned a life's lesson . It is your choice you must make what to do next. He would probably understand and forgive you, if you would but ask for forgiveness. Just think before you ever do anything like that again about the hurt you are feeling now. I am sure you do not want to feel that way again.

Look man, we all make mistakes, the fact that you are man enough to admit your fault is a step in the right direction. What you can do is save some money and put it back in its rightful place and try your best to be independent. If you really need something always ask as it is the best manners, even if it is your parent..I am sending you a pm..maybe this will help. Take care and God is ever loving and forgiving.

Why don't you do something for him back and tell him why you are doing that and that you regret what you've done. I think you will feel better because he will forgive you and stuff.
