Lost your parents’ trust? It usually comes back the slow way: one kept promise at a time.

Trust rebuilds at the speed of evidence. Once it has been broken, no explanation, apology or burst of good behaviour moves it much, because what got damaged was their ability to predict you, and only a run of small kept promises repairs that. The timeline will feel unfair. It is also the only timeline available.

Make your promises smaller and keep every one: home at the time you said, answer the text, do the thing without being asked twice. Stop asking whether they trust you yet, because the question resets the clock. Three steady weeks say more than any conversation.
